EDU 331 Problem Solving and Assessment in the Middle and Adolescent Grades
Uses problem solving approaches to select, apply, and translate mathematical representations to solve problems within the middle/adolescent grades. Application of manipulatives for visualizing and exploring the parameters of mathematical concepts lead to important insights and generalizations. Emphasis is placed on applying the assessment and tutoring of a student within the licensure area and upon the historical development of number and number systems, algebra, measurement, and the Euclidian and Non-Euclidian geometries including contributions from diverse cultures.
