MTH 211 — Fundamentals-Elem Math I
This is the first quarter of a three quarter sequence of mathematics for prospective teachers. This course will provide a background in basic mathematical concepts. As these concepts are studied we will examine alternative approaches to the teaching of mathematics, problem solving, integrating math with other subjects, the history of math, the use of computers in math education, and current trends in math education. The goal of the course is to produce educators who have mastered the basics of math, to produce educators who enjoy math and are able to share this enthusiasm with their students, and to produce educators who are able to teach math using a variety of approaches.
