Mathematics For Elementary Educators I –
mth213
(3 credits)
This is the first course of a two-part series designed for K-8 pre-service teachers to address the conceptual framework for mathematics taught in elementary school. The focus of part one will be on real number properties, patterns, operations and algebraic reasoning and problem solving.
This undergraduate-level course is 5
weeks.
To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
