MATH 4100 - Mathematics Teaching in Secondary School
Focuses on the development of pedagogical content knowledge specifically for teaching grades 7-12 mathematics. In this course AYA Integrated math majors who intend to be secondary mathematics teachers prepare for their senior year-long clinical teaching experience and the Teaching Performance Assessment (edTPA) which is required for graduation. Students learn the goals, instructional methods, and resources available for instruction in secondary school mathematics that reflect state and national standards and research on effective mathematics teaching. Students are required to create and implement lessons, activities, and assessments that use worthwhile mathematics tasks, incorporate meaningful mathematics discussion, and based on student-centered instruction. Math 4100L or 5100L must be taken concurrently and requires 150 hours of field experience in a local school.
Requisites: MATH 3110, MATH 3240, EDSE 3530 and (4100L concurrent)
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
