EDU 422 METHODS OF TEACHING MIDDLE GRADES AND SECONDARY MATHEMATICS
A study of the objectives and organization of the mathematics curriculum and the instructional methods, tools, and assessment used in the teaching of mathematics in middle and high school grades. The guiding question in this course is: What (1) knowledge (math content for teaching, pedagogy & curriculum), (2) inquiry and professional skills and (3) dispositions are most needed for math teacher candidates to be able to learn from their own practice and teach effectively? Teacher candidates will develop intellectual habits of mind such as asking good questions, learning to use math manipulatives in algebra, geometry, and measurement effectively as instructional tools, and planning units and lessons focused on best practices with student learning in mind.
