MTE 504 - Algebraic Thinking for Elementary School Educators Credits 3
Requirements: Prerequisite: Mathematics Education Doctoral Program OnlyLecture
The course is designed to explore how elementary grades mathematics, typically arithmetic, can be transformed to include algebraic reasoning. In particular, the course examines how to build opportunities for students to generalize patterns and relationships and support that thinking through conjecture and justification. The course will also attend to the forms of classroom practice that can support children’s algebraic thinking, how children represent their thinking, and how their representations evolve into more formal ways of thinking involving algebraic notation.

MTE 507 - Connected Mathematics in the Middle Grades Credits 3
Requirements: Prerequisite: Mathematics Education Doctoral Program OnlyLecture
Drawing deep conceptual links across the middle grades. Investigate how mathematical ideas connect across the grades and build on fundamental concepts from elementary through to high school grades and further. Examine reform-based curriculum (e.g. CMP2) to evaluate best practices in implementing new forms of teaching grades 6-8. Concepts are aligned with the middle mathematics standards of the Massachusetts curriculum frameworks.
