ECE 515 - P-5 Mathematics Teaching and Learning[3 credit(s)]
Prerequisites: EDC 501 and either ECE 500 or ESE 500 (note: EDC 501 is not a prerequisite for special education second license students). All early childhood and special education candidates beginning in Spring 2021 are required to satisfy one of the following prerequisites within the past ten years to be qualified to take the ECE 515 course: Completion of MTH 127, MTH 128, and MTH 129 with an average of B- or better in each course or an average of B- or better in combined prerequisite courses; or, completion of 2 college algebra level mathematics courses or higher level mathematics courses (i.e. Calculus I and Calculus II), for a total of at least 6 credits equivalent to MTH 127, MTH 128, and MTH 129 with a B- or better in each course; or, pass the quantitative portion of the GRE with a score of 150+; or, pass the mathematics portion of the Praxis Core Academics Skills for Educators Test with a scaled score of 150 on a 100-200 scale; or ACT math score of 20; or SAT math score of 510. Please note that the three prerequisite courses (MTH 127, MTH 128, MTH 129) will be substituted with MTH 137 and MTH 138 (4 credit hours each). In addition, MTH 135 will be an option for students who did not complete MTH 85 in conjunction with MTH 138 (4 credit hours each; still 8 credit hours total). The course aims at development of a justifiable rationale and philosophy for teaching and learning mathematics in grades P-5 that takes into account the interrelationships among curriculum, instruction, and assessment. It includes exploration of constructive processes involved in developing mathematical understanding in young children with particular attention given the acquisition of numeracy, reasoning and proofs, communication, connections, and problem-solving strategies. Also examined and evaluated will be current standards, methods, and materials for teaching and learning mathematics for grades P-5.
