MTH 213 Foundations of Elementary Math III
Surveys mathematical topics for those interested in the presentation of mathematics at the K-9 levels. Various manipulatives and problem solving approaches are used to explore informal geometry, transformational geometry, and measurement systems.
Prerequisite: MTH 211 and its prerequisite requirements. Audit available.
Fulfills General Education requirements for Math, Science, Computer Science (Non-lab; Excludes ASOT Business degree)
Addendum: This is the third term of a three-term sequence (MTH 211, 212, and 213).
Foundations of Elementary Math III is intended to examine geometric concepts and provide students with manipulatives to model problem solving, explore patterns and relationships among geometric figures, and develop spatial concepts. The content and pedagogy is based on the NCTM standards. Emphasis is on why mathematics works as it does rather than on memorization of algorithms.
