EDU 373 - Teaching Elementary School Mathematics

Content and methods for teaching mathematics in the elementary school program focusing on problem solving, mathematical reasoning and communication in mathematics. Special attention will be given to integrating mathematics with other areas of the curriculum helping students see the connection among mathematics and other areas of study. Notes: Note: ICE majors are required to register for a field experience lab section (EDU 373-L01 for 0 credit hours), which will require 75 hours of observation in a grade 1-6 elementary classroom.(3 cr. hr.)
Frequency code A = offered every semester

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Apply national and state mathematics standards to create student-centered mathematics lessons that reflect understanding of mathematics content, engage elementary students meaningfully in problem-solving and reasoning, and create a supportive classroom culture.
  2. Implement best practices to teach the major strands of mathematics curriculum in order to help elementary students develop robust conceptual and procedural understanding.
  3. Articulate the responsibilities of teachers of mathematics to teach in ways that are culturally responsive, promote equity in mathematics education, and support elementary students develop positive mathematical identities.
  4. Develop and use appropriate assessment procedures to collect evidence on student learning and use that evidence to inform future instruction.
