EDUX 7195. This course is one of five Learning Math workshops for elementary and middle school teachers (K-8) organized around the content standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The course examines the three main categories in the subject-area content strand of Principles and Standards of School Mathematics: understanding numbers, representations, relationships, and number systems; the meanings of operations and relationships among those operations; and reasonable estimation and fluent computation. The course covers the real number system, place value, the behavior of zero and infinity, meanings and models of basic operations, percentages, and modeling operations with fractions, often with the aid of concrete, physical models that enhance understanding. It also examines Basic Number Theory topics, such as factors and multiples, as well as divisibility tests, at both practical and abstract levels. The course consists of ten sessions, the last of which participants choose their specific grade level to explore ways to apply the concepts of number and operations they have learned during the course in their own classroom.
