EDMC 2300 - Introduction to Teaching Middle Childhood Mathematics
Students learn about the foundations of research-based approaches to teaching middle grades mathematics. They experience learning mathematics through rich problems that encourage multiple strategies, analyze children’s ways of solving similar problems, and develop lessons that align to current educational standards and research recommendations. There is a strong emphasis on understanding the relationship between mathematics, children’s lives, and real-world issues.
