ELE 2301Math in Today’s Elementary Classroom3
Credits: 3 hours This course is designed to provide education majors, who plan to teach in elementary schools, an opportunity to deepen their elementary mathematics knowledge and understanding in order to advance the knowledge and skills needed to effectively teach math concepts to young child through grade six. Mathematical concepts will be presented in a developmental sequence that supports children’s construction of the concepts essential to understanding mathematics. Specifically, each new concept will be introduced with concrete materials and exploratory activities that candidates can implement in an elementary classroom. Topicss include problem solving, sets, logic, functions, numeration systems, real number system and number theory utilitzed within an elementary classroom setting.
Credits: 3 hrs This course is designed to prepare prospective elementary school teachers in the areas of mathematics and science so that they will be able to use this knowledge to teach these two subjects in the elementary grades. The knowledge base under girding mathematical and scientific concepts, skills and processes that are outlined in the curriculum guides (K-6) will be emphasized.
Credits: 3 hrs This course introduces the prospective teacher to the major types of elementary curricula: the State Course of Study, the organization, objectives, techniques, procedures, and instructional resources. Emphasis is placed on innovation and current trends in the curricula; analysis of modern teaching situations and issues; the selection, application and organization of content; and the optimum use of appropriate materials and techniques applicable to grades K-6. Provisions are made for observations in schools with varying organizational patterns.
