MTH 478 - Mathematical Modeling for Teachers

Credit Hours: 3
Recommended Prerequisite: 15 hours of elementary or middle school mathematics. This course will focus on topics in upper elementary and middle school mathematics. This includes, within the context of problem solving: algebraic reasoning, proportional reasoning, integer operations, decimal operations, transformational geometry, and coordinate geometry. The course will also focus on integrating mathematical practices and process standards developed by professional organizations in mathematics education. The use of technological tools and manipulatives are embedded in the development of strategies for modeling mathematics. The course also includes school-based experiences for practical implementation.
