MATH 6800 Mathematical Technology for Teachers

In this course students will learn to use and apply a variety of software and technology to middle and secondary teaching. In particular, software and technology useful in the teaching of statistics geometry, algebra, trigonometry and calculus will be introduced, demonstrated, and used by the students. Software used to typeset mathematics will also be introduced. Students will work collaboratively to use the technology to develop conceptual lesson plans and present these to their fellow students. The course will be online only, with a mandatory session near the end of semester to present potential lessons using the software.
