Prerequisite: Math 099 or equivalent, or placement above pre-college mathematics (see Mathematics Flowchart). This course is for students seeking a degree in childhood education. It will create an experiential environment to investigate mathematical concepts presently taught in the elementary school, such as problem solving, sets and relations, numeration systems, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and number theory. Students will develop a comprehensive understanding of the New York State Learning Standards and Common Core Curriculum. They will learn various ways to communicate their comprehension to the elementary student. Students will be required to make classroom observations.
