Textbook: 

Elementary Mathematics for Teachers, Parker and Baldridge (2004).
Primary Mathematics 3A Textbook (ISBN 981–01–8502–2)
Primary Mathematics 4A Textbook (ISBN 981–01–8506–5)
Primary Mathematics 5A Textbook (ISBN 981–01–8510–3)
Primary Mathematics 5A Workbook (ISBN 981–01–8512–X)
Primary Mathematics 6A Textbook (ISBN 981–01–8514–6)
 

Prerequisites: Prereq: MATH 1552, EDCI 2001 and concurrent enrollment in EDCI 3001.

Assessment: The final course grade will be determined as follows:

20% Class attendance and  participation
50% Mentor Tutoring Experience
15% Midterm examination
15% Final examination

Grading guidelines +90% A, 89-80% B, 79 – 70% C, 69 – 60% D, -60% F.
 

Topics covered by the course:  We will review tricky issues which occur in elementary, middle, and high school mathematics.  In particular, we will investigate number theory, ratios and proportions, and the real numbers through the lens of a K-12 grade school teacher.

Written work: We write to communicate. Please bear this in mind as you complete homework assignments and take exams. Work must be neat and legible to receive consideration. You must explain your work in order to obtain full credit; an assertion is not an answer. For specific suggestions see A guide to writing in mathematics classes.

Disabilities: Students with disabilities who will be taking this course and may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an appointment to see the instructor as soon as possible.

Helpful Information:
 

  • Syllabus for 3001.
  • Midterm exam is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, October 17, in the normal meeting room.
  • Final Exam is scheduled for Tuesday, December 13, from 7:30-9:30 a.m.
