Mathematics for Elementary Teachers II
The course is a continuation of MTH 151 and is based on the philosophy that mathematical ideas are learned only through active involvement; lecturing is therefore reduced to a minimum and teaching methodology rests on small group activities, presentations and whole class discussions.
Note and Remember Please:
- Bring the book and announced manipulatives to every class.
- Notify me of your absences ahead by e-mail. No voicemail please.
- Work hard from the beginning as there are no extra credit activities.
