Credits 3
Lecture / 3 hours per week
Requirements: Prerequisite: Sophomore Standing
Focus on developing the skills and understandings of algebra, probability, and data analysis necessary to enter a teacher preparation program for elementary education. Foci include selecting and developing a number of data representations, organizing and looking for patterns in data, and using words, symbolic notation, graphs, and tables to generalize those patterns. Functions will be a particular topic of interest in this course. This course is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in elementary school mathematics teaching who want to improve their mathematical content knowledge in preparation for State required tests.
