MATH 202 — Number Concepts/Mid-School Teaching
This course has been designed keeping in mind both the Illinois Professional Content Standards for Teaching (Mathematics) and the content necessary to prepare students to be middle school mathematics and science teachers. A wide range of topics across number of theory and measurement will give the students a grasp of the depth and breadth of mathematics outside of the traditional course structure. Problem solving, estimation, measurements, and construction of simple theories of numbers will be treated with and without the use of technology. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
