In this course, students deepen their understanding of the essential elements of middle and high school mathematics curriculum and assessment. The focus of the course is on curricula that emphasize (1) the understanding of both concepts and algorithm, (2) the development of multiple representations, (3) connections within and among concepts, (4) reasoning and problem solving abilities, and (5) connections to the real world. Important mathematical topics discussed in the course inlucde proportional reasoning, variable, function, shape, measure, and probability. With respect to assessment, students become familiar with a variety of methods and how to use them appropriately to inform instruction and evaluate progress.
