This class is an introduction to research-based pedagogical approaches to teaching mathematics. We will consider multiple issues that relate to effective learning environments, students’ and teachers’ views and experiences of mathematics, and the field of mathematics education in general. The activities and assignments in this course are designed to motivate you to develop a point of view about how K-9 students might learn mathematics and how you can facilitate that learning. In doing so, we will consider and discuss multiple points of view about mathematics teaching and learning. In particular, we will share materials and methods for teaching problem solving, reasoning, communication, and connections of the concepts, skills, and relationships in elementary/middle mathematics including number sense, place value reasoning, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and fractions. Secondary learners will also get to explore algebra and geometry theories and methods as well.
