MATH 3430 - Algebra for Secondary Mathematics Teachers

This course is a one-semester course examining topics in Number System, Algebra, Expressions and Equations, and Function relevant for secondary school teachers. Emphasis will be placed on integrating algebraic and geometric ideas. This course, in conjunction with Geometry for Secondary Teachers and Statistics/Probability for Secondary Teachers, is intended to provide future teachers with a deep understanding of the content they will be teaching, how it builds from previous understandings students develop in elementary school, and how it extends to concepts at higher levels. Prerequisite is completion of Math 1210 with a grade of C or better.
