MTCH 2000 MATHEMATICS FOR ELEMENTARY TEACHERS I (3 credits)
This course builds the conceptual underpinnings behind the arithmetical reasoning typically taught in school curriculum. Topics include addition, subtraction, and multiplication of whole numbers and of rational numbers. The course aims to help students understand not just how to solve mathematical problems from a variety of approaches, but to understand the reasoning that make the approaches valid. The course is particularly useful for students who are planning on teaching mathematics at the K-6 level.
