MAT 4020 explores math mindsets of K-5 teachers and their students. Attitudes toward math and subsequent success in math are dependent upon how math is taught and learned. This course examines how K-5 students learn math based on brain research, and how math should be taught and assessed for success in math for all K-5 learners. Candidates also demonstrate and apply understandings of major mathematics concepts, algorithms, procedures, applications and mathematical practices in varied contexts and connections with in and among mathematical domains during the twenty-five hours of field experience.
