EDUC541  - Elementary School Mathematics

View Academic Calendar
 

This course emphasizes the developmental nature of the arithmetic process and its place in the experiences of the elementary school child. It presents thoughtful treatment of basic operations of arithmetic and methodology appropriate for teaching this content, and connecting ideas in elementary school mathematics. Topics include the study of whole numbers, relationships, reasoning, integers, rational numbers and real numbers, patterns, concepts of numerical literacy, shape and space, mathematical processes, logic, deductive reasoning, numeration systems, and problem solving. A field experience requiring a visit to an elementary school is a required assignment of the course. The course supports the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards.
