Prerequisites: MATH 265 and STP 303.

Credits: (3)

Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Construct oral and written explanations and analysis of mathematical knowledge specific to the secondary math curriculum.
Model mathematically everyday problems using mathematical functions or data analysis to make sense of the everyday phenomena.
Demonstrate (oral and written) mathematical concepts and procedures effectively and with mathematical precision.
Use technological tools strategically to teach and solve mathematical problems.
Demonstrate teaching strategies for students with special learning needs (ELL, students with exceptionalities, etc.).
Use the CCSS Math to make curricular decisions and discuss the connections between the secondary and university math curricula (ie. use curriculum mapping).
