EDUC 637 - Making Meaning In Mathematics

3 Credits

Many people admit freely their inability to understand mathematics while asserting their need to use it as part of their professional lives. This course will address numeric topics, algebra, geometry, and statistics so that participants can analyze the underlying principles of these fundamental processes. A constructivist approach will ensure that participants build a conceptually sound basis for their mathematical thinking, enabling them to use math confidently and apply its tools successfully. This course is especially relevant for science teachers who want to strengthen the math areas that are integrated into many science topics. (Three credits; Summer of Even-Numbered Years; Zales.)
