UEDU 702B - Teaching Mathematics

3 Credits
Teaching Mathematics is designed to prepare Master of Urban Education candidates to become effective mathematic educators - particularly in urban schools. This course focuses on current issues and trends influencing K-12 mathematics pedagogy, including, but not limited to teaching strategies, utilization of technologies, classroom materials, evaluation and research, methods of evaluating student achievement, content knowledge, and effective communication techniques. In the second semester, students will learn how to communicate mathematical concepts and demonstrate skills in K-12 mathematics. The course will complement the active teaching style of the overall program in that students will prepare unit and lesson plans that include student-centered assessment plans, as well as participate in observations of other math teachers. The overall goal of the two-semester course is for students to develop capacities for teaching mathematics that integrate specific activities, lessons, and teaching techniques that can be used in mathematics classrooms.
