This course is for prospective 6-12 mathematics teachers who have a strong undergraduate training in mathematics. This course is designed so that students can revisit key ideas in school mathematics, bringing with them the skills and understandings of college course work in mathematics and connecting more advanced ideas to the topics they will teach in middle school and high school. The goal of the course is to deepen and broaden students’ understanding of fundamental ideas involving algebra, functions, trigonometry, number theory, discrete mathematics, probability, and mathematical modeling. The emphasis is on engaging the students in reasoning and problem solving, communication about mathematics, making connections among different areas and concepts of mathematics, and exploring different ways of representing mathematical principles.
