History of Elementary Mathematics for K-8 Teachers


The course is designed to meet the mathematical needs of those students who plan to teach grades K-8. It is based on the philosophy that mathematical ideas are learned only through active involvement. Therefore, in this course a lecturing is reduced to a minimum and teaching methodology includes small group activities and presentations and whole class discussions – the methodology you will be using to present mathematical topics to your students.

To Note and Remember:

  • Start working on your planned presentation as soon as possible.
  • Notify me of your absences ahead by e-mail. No voicemail please.
  • Work hard from the beginning as there are no extra credit activities.
