EDUC 2840 - Mathematics Methods for Diverse Learners
3credit hour(s)Prerequisite:EDUC 2285 Examines research-based methods for teaching mathematics across elementary and secondary settings. Course competencies are built upon state standards and focus on central mathematical concepts including number sense and operations, proportional reasoning and algebraic thinking, functions and modeling, geometry and spatial reasoning, measurement, and data analysis. Emphasis is placed on pedagogical content knowledge, including analyzing student mathematical thinking, addressing common misconceptions, facilitating mathematical discourse, and using multiple representations to support conceptual understanding and procedural fluency. The course integrates evidence-based instructional strategies for diverse learners, including multilingual learners and students with disabilities, and requires candidates to plan, teach, and receive feedback on mathematics instruction aligned to their licensure level. Post-baccalaureate course for teacher licensure.
