Prospective school teachers revisit mathematics topics from the K-8 school curriculum and examine them from an advanced perspective including variables, expressions, equations and inequalities, and functions. This course includes recitation and hands on activities. The goal is to present mathematical concepts and effective teaching strategies in an integrated manner. Underlying goals are to stimulate variety in solution processes, provide concrete, pictorial and abstract models, develop communication, collaboration and math reading skills in an environment rich with manipulatives and technology. Prerequisite: MATH 2010.
