MAE.5100-01 Math for Elementary Teachers

Hybrid Format

Wednesdays 4:30 PM - 7:30 PM

5/27/2025 - 8/15/2025

91Ö±²¥, Brownson Hall Rm 222

Instructor: Amanda Mohammad Mirzaei

Mathematics for Elementary Teachers (MAE 5100) is a new mathematics content course at 91Ö±²¥ offered to support those seeking to be certified as a K-6 teacher in their understanding of mathematics concepts taught in those grades. In this course, teacher candidates will work on deepening their understanding of the following topics: Numbers in Base 10, Whole Number Operations, Fraction Operations, Geometry, and Algebraic Thinking. These topics span both the NYS Next Generation standards for K-6 learners as well as the topics covered on the NYS Multi-Subject Certification Examination. While the work of teaching and learning mathematics cannot be totally separated, this course is focused on teacher candidates working with math content and is not a teaching mathematics pedagogy course. 

This course uses a variety of teaching methods with an emphasis placed on active student participation in discussion and activities. Through this course, teacher candidates will see how the topics in K-6 mathematics fit together and how they fit into the broader storyline of school mathematics. At the close of the course, teacher candidates will be expected to integrate procedural fluency with conceptual understanding of key concepts, understand multiple methods for solving problems, be able to compare those methods, and make their thinking visible. 

Students who have previously taken this course have expressed that they feel more prepared to teach mathematics after taking this course. They describe that their learning and understanding of the underlying structure of the operations with whole numbers and fractions, as key to feeling more confident and ready to both take their certification exam and step into an elementary mathematics classroom.
