This course is an overview of the teaching of elementary mathematics with an emphasis on research-based methods and theoretical foundations for contemporary math programs. Candidates will explore and practice teaching and assessment strategies based on the concept-centered approach to teaching math and the cognitive constructivist approach to learning. Candidates will have the opportunity to examine a variety of materials, including appropriate technology for classroom use and for evaluation purposes. Real world applications, diversity, and the integration of math concepts in other disciplines will be emphasized. Candidates will also become familiar with and apply national standards in practice unit/lesson plans.
