EDG 612 Materials and Methods of Teaching Mathematics (Advanced)
This course is designed to support candidates in critically examining the need for reform in mathematics education. The course focuses on the use of theoretical and research-based models to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to help elementary students develop mathematical understandings, reasoning processes, and relationships. Candidates plan research-based activities to develop children’s understanding and use of patterns, quantities, and spatial relationships through the use of manipulatives and technology. Candidates also practice instructional leadership skills by supervising and evaluating mathematics teaching and learning.
