EDU 5070 Designing a Student-Centered Math Environment for Grades 3-5


Lecture: 4 Lab: 0 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 4
This course capitalizes on candidates’ explicit instruction, modeling and demonstrating, and comprehension strategies to enhance student achievement in math standards for grades 3-5. Candidates investigate resources appropriate for grades 3-5 math content standards, plan and present math lessons, provide academic feed- back, guide the independent learning of students, group students in accordance with differentiated needs, and participate in conferences to discuss their effectiveness. Candidates participate in a field experience that integrates knowledge and skills which allows for demonstration and application of understandings of major mathematical concepts, algorithms, procedures, application, and practices in varied contexts and connections within and among mathematical domains for grades 3-5. The required twenty-five hours of field experience enables candidates to apply what they have learned as they carry out small group tutoring and whole class instruction.
