COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Mathematics Education 


MAED courses offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are intended primarily for students seeking teacher licensure, licensure renewal, or license upgrading.  These courses may not be used to satisfy the requirements for a major or minor in Mathematics. They may be accepted as non-math electives for B.A. and B.S. degrees in Mathematics and for the M.A. in mathematics education.

MAED 3000. Topics in Mathematics Education, Elementary. (1-6) Prerequisite:  Consent of the Department. Special topics in mathematics education for grades K-6.  May be repeated for credit as topics vary. (On demand) 

MAED 3040. Topics in Mathematics Education, Middle Grades. (1-6) Prerequisite:  Consent of the Department.  Special topics in mathematics education for middle grades.  May be repeated for credit as topics vary. (On demand) 

MAED 3070. Topics in Mathematics Education, Secondary. (1-6)  Prerequisite:  Consent of the Department.  Special topics in mathematics education at the secondary level.  May be repeated for credit as topics vary. (On demand) 

MAED 3103. Using Technology to Teach Secondary School Mathematics. (3)  Prerequisite:  Consent of the Department.  Technology is a tool for exploring mathematical ideas and representing mathematical concepts, including lab assignments related to using technology throughout the secondary school mathematics curriculum. (Spring) 

MAED 3105. Geometry in the Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum. (3)  Prerequisite:  Consent of the Department.  Study of geometry from synthetic, transformational, and algebraic perspectives including activities and software to enhance the conjecture/theorem/proof process.  (Fall) 

MAED 3222.  Teaching Mathematics to Elementary School Learners, Grades K-2. (3) Prerequisites: Students must be accepted as Elementary Education majors in the College of Education.  This course is designed to help students develop knowledge and understanding of school mathematics and methods for teaching mathematics to children in grades K through 2.  The course focuses on the importance of learning through manipulative and concrete experiences, on and planning lessons in which students develop their ideas through action and discussion.

MAED 3224. Teaching Mathematics to Elementary School Learners, Grades 3-6. (3) Prerequisites: MAED 3222.  This course is designed to help students develop knowledge and understanding of school mathematics and methods for teaching mathematics to children in Grades 3 through 6.  The course includes a focus on planning and developing mathematics lessons and also includes the study of a variety of techniques for assessing student learning. 

MAED 3232. Teaching Mathematics to Middle School Learners. (3)  Prerequisites:  Admission to Teacher Education and Senior Standing.  Corequisite: EDUC 4290.  Preparation to teach mathematics at the middle school level with emphasis on problem solving, mathematical connections, manipulatives, cultural diversity, and assessment, including school-based field experiences.  

MAED 3252. Teaching Mathematics to Secondary School Learners. (3)  Prerequisite:  Admission to Teacher Education or consent of the Department.  Secondary school mathematics and its relation to the curriculum K-12.  Teaching strategies and activities in secondary school mathematics with emphasis on problem solving, mathematical connections, communication, discourse, and assessment, including school-based field experiences.
