MEE 7637 Integrated Methods for Teaching Elementary Mathematics

Students participate in an analysis of methods and materials used in mathematics programs, including the criteria established by NCTM and the Delaware Content Standards for mathematics. Students must demonstrate competency in number systems and theory, real numbers, set theory, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus. Manipulatives, calculators, and computers are studied for both theory and application. Particular emphasis is on the evaluation of math achievement and learning difficulties specific to math. Each student is required to prepare a project that includes designing, delivering, and evaluating math lessons appropriate for young children. Students will participate in a series of diagnostic tests designed to inform them of the need for additional mathematics coursework.
