MAT 107 - Math for Elementary Education

Credits: 3
3 Lecture Hours

Prerequisites: MAT 090  (minimum grade “C”) or equivalent, or successful placement.
 
Description
This course is intended as a pre-service content course for elementary education majors. Students explore the conceptual foundations of the numerical content of the mathematics curriculum in the elementary grades with an emphasis on problem solving. Topics include operations and properties of whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios and proportions, exponents, scientific notation, linear equations, nonlinear equations, numeration systems and word problems involving units and large quantities. Earning a B or higher in both Math 107 and Math 110 is an approved alternative assessment to the PAPA exam.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:

  1. Analyze problem situations in algebra, including logical reasoning and number theory.
  2. Apply problem-solving and algebraic thinking skills.
  3. Define properties relating to number system and numeration systems.
  4. Demonstrate operations and manipulations involving numbers and numeration systems.
  5. Relate areas of mathematics as they apply to problem solving and algebraic thinking skills.
  6. Explain concepts and processes for elementary level students.
