MATG-764: Methods of Teaching Middle/Secondary Mathematics

You must demonstrate intellectual understanding of the subject matter through readings,
reports, homework, discussions, and projects. The main emphasis of this course will be on helping you acquire professional teaching skills. Exhibiting qualities of initiative, willingness to take on responsibilities, assertiveness, promptness, cheerfulness, consideration of others, independence, and a love of hard work are indicators that you are seriously preparing to teach mathematics. Issues of diversity and equity will pervade the course as we explore the goal of mathematical power for all our students and the diverse ways of learning our students bring to the classroom. Technology will be used and evaluated critically in the course for its added value to learning.
