This course focuses on building the content understandings and pedagogical skills to teach elementary mathematics. Participants investigate the procedures, concepts, models, and representations that are required to understand our base-ten number system and operations with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. Additionally, participants will experience and plan for Mathematics Workshops as a structure for implementing equitable, high quality mathematics teaching and learning. Participants will rehearse and plan effective teacher moves for facilitating a student-centered Mathematics Workshop lesson. Particular attention is also given to unpacking standards, identifying quality math tasks, and planning instruction which places emphasis on the representation and communication of student mathematical thinking and reasoning. Participants will also rehearse, plan, and implement effective teacher behaviors that foster student engagement in the eliciting and synthesis of mathematical ideas.
