Overview of Courses

ELED 6311: Number Systems & Operations: K-5 Mathematical Tasks. (3). Generating mathematical representations and making explicit connections between concepts. Pedagogy designed to equip elementary teachers to become mathematics teacher-leaders in school settings; Focus given to topics integrated within mathematical strands. (Fall, Spring, Summer).

ELED 6312: Geometry & Spatial Visualization: K-5 Assessment. (3). Formative and summative assessment strategies of students’ geometric thinking in elementary grades; Concept development of 2- and 3-dimensional Geometry. Attention also given to diagnosis of student errors. (Fall, Spring, Summer).

ELED 6313: Algebraic Reasoning: K-5 Discourse & Questioning. (3). Focus on the early algebra concepts of functional thinking and generalized arithmetic in relationship to pedagogical practices centered on questioning in the mathematics classroom. (Fall, Spring, Summer).

ELED 6314: Rational Numbers & Operations: K-5 Learning Trajectories. (3). Focus on rational number concepts through learning trajectories at the K-5 level; attention also given to problem solving and content knowledge. (Fall, Spring, Summer).

ELED 6315: Data Analysis and Measurement: K-5 Classroom Interactions. (3). Focus on statistical literacy of elementary teachers and the teaching of data analysis and measurement to K-5 students; attention is also given to learning methods which facilitate appropriate classroom interactions. (Fall, Spring, Summer).
