Students extend their understanding of research-based approaches to teaching middle grades mathematics and put these approaches into practice. This course includes a field placement in a grades 4-9 classroom, which is arranged by the College of Education. Students plan and enact mathematics lessons in their field placement and reflect on their teaching. There is a strong emphasis on identifying and building on children’s home, community, and mathematical strengths and on understanding the relationship between mathematics, children’s lives, and real-world issues.
