During this course, participants will examine their own mathematics understandings and seek to expand these understandings, especially as they relate to computation and the foundations of algebra K-4. Through the use of various standards-based mathematics curricula, participants will better understand the important concepts in an elementary mathematics program and how teaching through “best practice” can help students to understand, retain, and connect K-4 mathematics concepts. Participants will focus on meaningful student assessment methods that promote further learning of mathematics. The course will provide an in-depth look into the number, operation, and algebra mathematics concept strands at the K-4 elementary level as well as effective strategies for teaching these concepts. This course will incorporate lessons and activities from several standards-based mathematics programs.
