Content: -
MAE 3811 is designed to enhance the mathematical skills of prospective
elementary-school teachers and prepare them to take the appropriate
teaching-methods course (MAE 4310) in the College of Education. MAE
3811 is
not intended to be a course in elementary-school math, nor a
course in how to teach elementary-school math. Rather, it is intended
to give prospective teachers a deeper understanding of the math they
will be teaching. This type of understanding is indispensable for
effective teaching at any level.
MAE 3811 does not satisfy general education or Gordon Rule
requirements.
