Teaching Math in the Intermediate Grades
3 units
As preparation for teaching in the intermediate grades, this course emphasizes the integration of
technological pedagogical content knowledge that includes topics on rational numbers, measurement,
geometric figures, pre-algebra concepts, application of simple probability and data analysis. This course
is capped with microteaching that utilizes appropriate teaching strategies for the development of critical
and problem solving, reasoning, communicating, making corrections, representations and decisions in
real life situations.
3 Hours
None
1. To understand and be able to apply the mathematics essential to successful teaching in the
elementary school classroom.
2. To acquire a foundation in geometry and measurement, statistics, counting, and probability.
3. To gain skill in problem solving and critical thinking
