EDU 353 Teaching Mathematics Intermediate-Middle School

This course incorporates the use of a problem-solving approach in the development of mathematical topics relevant for the intermediate to middle school teacher.  Standards alignment between the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) content and process standards and the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M) content and practice standards is analyzed. Specific concepts from the CCSS-M, such as operations and algebraic thinking; numbers and operations in base-ten; numbers and operations of fractions; measurement; data analysis and probability; number theory; and geometry will be taught specific to teach intermediate and middle school students.
