EDU-304: Learning and Teaching Mathematics I

This course will examine the “mathematical foundations and perspectives, including an understanding of how students learn, how to promote that learning by teaching through problem solving, and how to plan for and assess that learning daily” (p. vi, Van de Walle, KEP, & by-Williams, 2019). Experiences in this course will focus on helping children develop a sound, foundational understanding of number concepts, language and skills. Candidates will learn to assess children’s mathematical understanding and plan engaging, meaningful learning experiences that lead to success for all learners. Field experiences offer opportunities to apply concepts and skills learned in this course.
