Count On It!: Number Sense For Grades K-5
PSEW 608A
This course is designed
to help elementary school teachers develop a better understanding of number
and number sense; why it is important for students to have number sense; and
how to effectively assess
what type of number sense students have. Learners will examine lesson plans,
Web resources and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
Principles and Standards for
School Mathematics dedicated to helping students develop a richer, deeper,
understanding for numbers. Through these resources, learners will explore
ways they can develop lesson plans and enhance
student learning by using manipulatives, both traditional and technological,
literature and other forms of technology.
Prerequisite: Requires
a basic knowledge of the computer to include word processing, browsing the
Internet, use of electronic mail and specifically how to attach documents in
email, as most of the assignments
will be submitted in this way.

Enabling Students With Special Needs To Succeed In Math
Class For (Grades 4-8)
(MATH165) MATH165.46
This course focuses on
how to promote equity in mathematics education for students with
disabilities. The "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of
1997" mandates that, whenever possible, students with
disabilities be educated in the same classrooms and with the same curricula
as their peers. Learners will discover how to adapt their own curricula and
collaborate with special needs teachers to help
students succeed in the classroom. Learners will develop new instructional
strategies for making mathematics more accessible for students with
disabilities. As a final task, learners will develop a
plan to incorporate accessibility strategies into their daily teachings.

Patterns And Relations For Grades 6-8
(MATH135) MATH135.33
(Session 1) MATH135.34
(Session 2)
Patterns and relations are the core of algebra. This course, which is
closely aligned with the NCTM Algebra Standard, focuses on how to represent,
analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns. Learners will
develop a deeper understanding of the mathematics of patterns, and more
importantly, acquire and build upon strategies for teaching patterns to
middle school students. Learners will read NCTM’s Principles
and Standards for School Mathematics, as well as solve sample patterns
problems that have appeared on state tests, in order to connect the
mathematics explored in this course with the mathematics
students are required to learn. This course identifies common mistakes and
misconceptions made by middle students in the course of pattern study.
Learners will solve rich, mathematical problems
and then use that problem-solving experience to reflect on the
misconceptions these problems generate among students. Learners will then
collaborate with other learners in the online discussion board
to develop and evaluate strategies for helping students overcome their
misconceptions. As a final task, learners will craft a thoughtful argument
addressing the importance of patterns and relations in
the mathematical education of middle school students.

Rational Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, and Percents in
Grades 5-8
(MATH245) MATH245.25
This course is designed
to give middle school educators new strategies for teaching the concepts of
rational numbers. Learners will analyze sample problems in order to better
understand how their students approach
the study of fractions, decimals, and percents. Learners will learn common
misconceptions that students have, such as viewing fractions as portions and
not as quantities. Learners will read the
NCTM Standards in order to be sure their students will meet expectations at
the middle school level and that they will be ready to meet expectations
when entering high school. As a final task, learners will

The Concept of Function for Grades 9-12
(MATH155) MATH155.24
This course focuses on
the concept of function, including theories of function as a process, as a
mathematical object, and as a tool for describing and predicting. Learners
will first solve mathematical problems
and engage in activities that deepen their understanding of function. They
then consider how students approach the concept of function and discuss
instructional strategies. Learners will explore and
reflect on the misconceptions students have about functions and the
difficulties students face in studying functions. The content focuses on
