MATH 373: Teaching P-3 Mathematics III

Mathematics · 4 credits

Foundations of mathematics education for pre-kindergarten to grade three, including developing data gathering and interpretation, conceptual development of measurement, and early geometry as well as spatial reasoning. Curriculum analysis, questioning tactics, and assessment techniques are presented and investigated. This course emphasizes problem-solving, the use of models, and appropriate technology. This is the third of a sequence of courses required to ensure a comprehensive and necessary background for teaching pre-kindergarten to grade three. Not acceptable for any departmental major except BA/Ed, Elementary.

Offered in 6 of the 26 listed terms (Winter 2022 to Winter 2027).
