EDUC 1310U – I/S Mathematical Thinking and Doing

This course is designed to provide teacher candidates with opportunities to develop their conceptual understanding, procedural skills, and confidence in the mathematical knowledge required for teaching. Through a problem-solving approach, teacher candidates will be invited to reconstruct their current perspectives of mathematics and enhance their understanding of mathematics pedagogy. This course will emphasize diverse ways of reasoning with and about mathematics, which includes a focus on mathematical communication and contextualized explorations with connections to other subject areas. Specific considerations for teaching in the I/S classroom, such as making connections amongst mathematical ideas, physical and virtual representations, and emotional experiences will be addressed.
