IV. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:

|Pre-Requisites: |

|Admission to candidacy, Bachelor of Science, Early Childhood Education, and successful completion of MATH 2008 |

|Description: This course will provide early childhood teacher candidates with mathematical foundations in topics which include algebra concepts, mathematical|

|modeling, and logical reasoning. |

V. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:

|Unit Philosophy: |

|A Gordon teacher is one who possesses the abilities, skills, knowledge, and confidence to inspire and enable each student to become a lifelong learner. A |

|more detailed explanation of the unit philosophy may be found at . |

| |

|Purposes and goals for Gordon’s Elementary Education Program are included at |

| . |

| |

|The Math 3001-3002-3003 courses are primarily mathematics content courses, but they should impact prospective teachers’ knowledge of curriculum, students, |

|learning environments, planning, and instructions, as well as professionalism and assessment. Elementary teachers must be aware of and proficient with Grades|

|preK-8 mathematics. |

| |

|Provided within the Common Core, the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice are: |

|Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. |

|Reason abstractly and quantitatively. |

|Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. |

|Model with mathematics. |

|Use appropriate tools strategically. |

|Attend to precision. |

|Look for and make use of structure. |

VI. GORDON LEARNING OUTCOMES:

|The entire toolkit of the Early Childhood Education Program is described by ten conceptual framework outcomes, organized within five categories of the |

|Georgia Framework for Teaching. Each outcome contains four indicators, with the fourth indicator related to dispositions. In summary, there are thirty |

|indicators related to the knowledge and skills essential to teaching for learning, and ten indicators of dispositions inherent within great teachers. On the|

|chart below, the ECE program outcomes and indicators are summarized and linked to sources of evidence that will be evaluated in this course. |
