EDU 420 TEACHING AND ASSESSING K- 8 MATHEMATICS
Teaching and Assessing K-8 Mathematics focuses on learning theories and teaching strategies for grades K-8. The class is based on the ideas, goals, and recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), namely that all children can and do enjoy mathematics, that children earn best by actively exploring and investigating math, and that problem solving, reasoning, and communication are important goals of mathematics teaching and learning. Furthermore, the NCTM Standards are the guide in studying the interrelationship between the process and content strands. In addition, candidates will explore classroom materials, models and technologies appropriate for use with elementary students. Additionally, the class will emphasize implementing the Montana Common Core State Standards in Mathematics. Candidates will explore classroom materials, models, and technologies appropriate and effective in guiding mathematics instruction.
