MTED 528Cultural and Historical Significance of Mathematics3.0
The course explores how mathematics reflects and influences the ideas and movements in culture, history, biography and philosophy. An emphasis on teaching methods is integrated throughout the course.
This course focuses on critical knowledge and skills for teaching mathematics in middle years, including learning theories and psychology in mathematics education, mathematics curricula, teaching mathematics, technology, assessment, and meeting individual student needs. The major goal is to provide prospective middle school teachers the opportunity to develop concepts, skills, and pedagogical procedures for effective teaching of mathematics in middle years. Important social and cultural aspects of teaching math that impact student learning will be considered, as well as reflection occur on how teaching mathematics can be made exciting, intriguing, and understandable for students.
This course is about student-centered learning and teaching of mathematics. This goal is to develop participants' expertise in analyzing student work, understanding student thinking, and using that understanding to guide subsequent interactions and interventions with the student.
MTED 611Virtual Field Experience I - Online Mentoring1.5
This course utilizes the Math Forum's online learning environment to provide teachers with opportunities to engage with students, diagnose student understandings, and implement appropriate instructional responses. Key to this course is virtual one-on-one interactions and an opportunity to reflect on these interactions. This is the first of a 2-course sequence.
MTED 612Virtual Field Experience II - Online Mentoring1.5
This course utilizes the Math Forum's online learning environment to provide teachers with opportunities to engage with students, diagnose student understandings, and implement appropriate instructional responses. Key to this course is continued virtual interactions and an opportunity to reflect on these4 interactions. This is the second of a 2-course sequence.
Course focus is on supporting the development of mathematical approaches to problems that allow students to productively engage with and reason through a wide variety of mathematical tasks. Students will develop high levels of competence and sophistication with a wide range of mathematical approaches, including guess and check, consider a simpler problem, analyze in terms of parity, case analysis, etc.
MTED 661Teaching Math with Dynamic Math Technology3.0
This course explores how the teaching and learning of math in grades 6 through calculus is enhanced by appropriate use of dynamic mathematics software such as Classpad.net, Geogebra and Desmos. Course activities will include constructing content-focused math activities from scratch and using existing ready-to-use activities from the different dynamic math software tools to cover topics in middle school, algebra, geometry, statistics, and calculus. Technology skills such as creating sliders, constructions, creating multiple representations, creating hide/show buttons, and more will be covered as they relate to the math topics being explored.
