Elementary Math for Teaching: Algebra and Data Analysis

Course No: MATH.1080-061; SIS Class Nbr: 1081; SIS Term: 3420
Course Status: Open

Course Description

This course seeks to support students in furthering their understanding of elementary mathematics concepts. The goal is for students to not only pass the MTEL for elementary mathematics, but to lay the groundwork for graduate work in elementary mathematics education. Specifically, we use an integrated approach to algebra that draws on real-world data to the extent possible. To this end, learners will gain experience in selecting and developing a number of data representations, organizing data, looking for patterns in the data and, finally, using words, symbolic notation, graphs and tables to generalize those patterns. No credit in Science or Engineering.

Prerequisites, Notes & Instructor

  • Prerequisites: MATH.1070 Elementary Math for Teaching: Numbers and Operations.
  • Section Notes: Live Online Course; Live Online Course; Attend class remotely during specific days and times (sometimes referred to as synchronous learning). Instructors may deliver lessons from an off-campus location, from a campus classroom, lab or studio, and you¿ll also make use of Blackboard, UMass Lowell¿s online learning management tool. Be advised: This online course has at least one test or exam that will need to be proctored virtually by a company that the University has contracted for this service. Virtual proctors will take security measures, including a scan of your testing environment and a photo ID check. Students will also have the option to take exams on campus if they choose not to use a virtual proctor. Detailed information about how the virtual proctored exam works will be available to you in Blackboard when the course begins. You may also visit https://gps.uml.edu/courses/proctored-exams.cfm for more information.
