MATH 381: Mathematics for Elementary Teachers 1: Attribution, Geometry, and Measurement

Course Description

This inquiry-based laboratory course intends to support the learning of elementary educators (birth to grade 6) in foundations of attribute concepts; including sorting, comparing, and representing 2D and 3D objects; early geometry concepts; and measurement. The course integrates these areas of mathematical content with pedagogy, including creating mathematical learning environments, selecting worthwhile mathematical tasks, attending to and reacting to others’ mathematical thinking, and supporting caregivers in fostering their child’s success in mathematics.
