2023-2024 Undergraduate/Graduate Catalog

STEM 502 Modeling with Mathematics in STEM Education

Designed for K-12 in-service or pre-service teachers in a STEM field. Students will deepen their understanding of core mathematics concepts through mathematical modeling and build connections to other STEM fields. Students will engage in the mathematical modeling cycle in a variety of STEM contexts and learn how to implement appropriate modeling tasks for their grade-level specializations. The course topics span the K-12 mathematics curriculum including geometry, patterning and functions, statistics and discrete mathematics. The relationship between the mathematical modeling cycle and Next Generation Science Standards will be explored.
