Prerequisite: MATH 107 with a “C-” or higher or MATH 112 with a “C-” or higher; restricted to majors in early childhood, elementary and special education
This course develops student’s understanding of the mathematical content of patterns, functions and algebra at the deep level required for successful elementary school teaching in ways that are meaningful to pre-service elementary teachers. Topics will include concepts of variable and function; linear, quadratic and exponential functions and their graphs; patterns, arithmetic and geometric progressions; solving equations and applications. Connections between arithmetic and algebra will be emphasized. Offered fall, spring and summer. (CMAR)
