MAT 6373 Advanced Mathematical Applications
This course is based on state standards. Specifically designed for the middle-school mathematics teacher, inquiry-based, process- oriented, independent and collaborative learning strategies in the area of middle-school mathematics are emphasized. Methods will reinforce teaching the utility of mathematics and will encourage development of activities specifically designed for the middle-school classroom. Development of a professional lesson plan that includes a complex investigation activity which involves "doing mathematics" is required. Both a textbook and a graphing calculator are required.
