III. Text (s) and Other Resources
|Textbook: |
|Billstein, R., Libeskind, S., & Lott. J. (2010). A Problem Solving Approach to Mathematics for Elementary School Teachers (10th edition). Addison-Wesley. |
| |
|According to our Bookstore Director, the ISBN for the RedShelf 180-day rental of their eBook version is 978-0-135-18409-7. The cost to the student is |
|approximately $50. |
| |
|This course will be enhanced with Desire2Learn (D2L) and other course resources on Dr. Clement’s professional website. Just in case we ever move to an online|
|format, we are using D2L’s Blackboard Collaborate (BBC) Ultra to record sessions, and we will use Assignments, Quizzes, and Discussions primarily for |
|instruction and assignments, and possibly testing. |
IV. CATALOG DESCRIPTION:
|Pre-Requisites: |
|Admission to Candidacy, Bachelor of Science, Early Childhood Education, and Successful Completion of MATH 2008. |
|Description: |
|Topics include plane figures, polygons and tessellations, space figures, symmetric figures, systems of measurement, area and perimeter, symmetry, |
|constructions, volume and surface area, congruence and similarity mappings, and topological mappings. |
| |
|Additional Description: |
|This course is designed to develop and broaden the student’s understanding of fundamental concepts of geometry with particular attention given to specific |
|methods and materials of instruction. This course will utilize a problem-centered approach with and emphasis on methods and materials for teaching |
|mathematics at the P-5 level. |
|The various techniques through which the content of this course will be delivered include exploring new ideas, constructing and justifying arguments, |
|problem-solving using a variety of strategies, using manipulative materials to represent mathematical ideas, and exploring geometric concepts through dynamic|
|software. |
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 .
There is a list of resources 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 STATE 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. |
