• MATH 618: 7-12 Assessment

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  Course for secondary mathematics teachers who wish to explore the nature of the mathematics assessment from a variety of perspectives. The course will examine traditional and non-traditional forms to assessment as well as the purpose of formative and summative assessments - allowing for discussion of the pros and cons to each. The course will also examine the impact of assessment tools on individual classroom instruction as well as within local departments, schools, districts, states and national education issues. The course will seek to actively involve teachers in a productive dialogue about the mathematics that they teach and explore a variety of levels at which the mathematics can be assessed. In otder to do this, it will be necessary at times to expand and explore K-16 mathematics assessment at some length.

• MATH 619: Advanced Perspectives

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  Course is for secondary mathematics teachers at the middle or high school level who wish to explore the nature of the mathematics that they teach from a different viewpoint. The course will look at typical secondary mathematics topics including the real number system, polynomials, number theory, trigonometry and Euclidean geometry while examining concept analysis, problem analysis and mathematical connections. The course will actively involve in-service and pre-service teachers in a productive dialogue about the mathematics that they teach, and potential developmental or extensions that could be put into practice at each level. The class will also explore a variety of levels at which it may be appropriate to address these issues with their own students.

• MATH 622: 21st Century Math

  3.00 Credits

  Millersville University of Pennsylvania

  
  The intent of the course, Teaching Mathematics in The 21st Century, is to examine, study, and analyze teaching techniques and alternate approaches to teaching and learning mathematics in the 21st century. Students will experiment with a variety of pedagogies that are more in-line with the way in which 21st century students live rather than how they are often taught. Comparisons of multiple pedagogies (current, past and potential future) will be frequently made and discussed.
