MAT 110 - Mathematics for Elementary Education 2

Credits: 3
3 Lecture Hours

Prerequisites: MAT 107

Description
This course is intended for students pursuing a career in teacher education. It is designed as a vehicle to develop a pedagogical framework for teaching mathematics in elementary grades. Students use a variety of materials for learning and work with conceptual models, using these to do mathematics and perform activities that demonstrate competence in communicating mathematics. Topics include geometry, Pythagorean triangles, quadrilaterals, angles, measurement conversions with customary and metric systems, bivariate data, categorical data, quantitative data and inferences. 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:

Demonstrate problem- solving skills using quantitative computational techniques.
Explain concepts and processes for elementary level students.
Define properties relating to numbers of systems, probability, measurement, statistics and geometric formulas.
Demonstrate mastery in mathematical representations, reasoning, problem solving and communication in manipulating numbers of systems for elementary level students.
Demonstrate mastery in probability, descriptive statistics, measurement and geometry for elementary level students.
