 Return to: Academic Programs
This major in the Mathematics Department leads to New York state certification to teach mathematics in grades 7-12.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Identify the analytical tools of calculus and be able to use them to recast real-world problems in a mathematical setting and solve them.
- Understand the concept of a set and be able to state and prove theorems concerning sets using formal definitions. This understanding should extend to knowledge of functions, mappings, relations, and cardinality.
- Recognize mathematical structures such as vector spaces and groups, and their properties, both as mathematical constructions and as abstractions of real-world objects.
- Appreciate the language of mathematics and be able to use it to state hypotheses and prove mathematical statements with a variety of techniques.
- Understand the richness and interconnectedness of all branches of mathematics by solving problems using a variety of mathematical approaches.
- Apply knowledge of curriculum standards for mathematics and their relationship to student learning within and across mathematical domains. This outcome aligns with NCTM CAEP Standard 3: Content Pedagogy.
- Exhibit knowledge of adolescent learning, development, and behavior. Use this knowledge to plan and create sequential learning opportunities grounded in mathematics education research. This outcome aligns with NCTM CAEP Standard 4: Mathematical Learning Environment.
- Demonstrate that as a result of their instruction, secondary students' conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, strategic competence, adaptive reasoning, and application of major mathematics concepts in varied contexts have increased. This outcome aligns with NCTM CAEP Standard 5: Impact on Student Learning.
