MAE 3320C - Teaching Methods in Middle School Mathematics with Practicum

4 credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): Admission into the Bachelor of Science Program in Education or special permission from the Dean of the School of Education
Prior to enrolling in any upper level course (course number beginning with a 3 or 4), students must complete the following courses with a grade of “C” or better: ENC 1101 English Composition I, ENC 1102 English Composition II, and three semester hours of college level mathematics; or permission from the appropriate academic dean.
This course is required in the undergraduate Mathematics Education program and should be taken as a prerequisite for MAE 4330C. Its major goal is to provide prospective middle school teacher candidates the opportunity to develop concepts, skills, and pedagogical procedures for the effective teaching of mathematics in grades 5-9. To this end, the course will provide for an integration of mathematics content and the middle school philosophy while examining learning and teaching at this level. Such a course is recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). This course requires thirty-five (35) hours of practicum in a middle grades (5-9) classroom setting.
