Course Learning Objectives: 

This course is intended for students who are preparing to teach mathematics at the elementary and possibly middle school level.  This course is designed to prepare you with the mathematical skills, knowledge, and ways of reasoning that you need for teaching mathematics. An all-encompassing goal is to help you develop a sense of yourselves as future professionals and educators who are capable of teaching mathematics well. This means that during the course you will progress on a continuum, moving from simply knowing mathematics as an educated adult, to knowing mathematics as a teacher, and to begin to think about ways to help others learn mathematics.

Student Learning Objectives:  

Students will develop problem solving techniques and mathematical structure associated with numeration, set theory, elementary number theory, the real number system, ratio, proportion and percent.
