Grading Scale: % A s (A, A-)* 89-80% B s (B+,B,B-) 79-70% C s (C+,C,C-) 60-60% D s (D+, D, D-) 59-50% F * The + or - designation will be assigned at the instructor s discretion. Grading: 100 Tests 100 pts Development of a resource notebook 25 Lesson plans (e.g. develop lessons using problem solving, technology, manipulatives, cooperative learning, real life, interdisciplinary, historical) 20 pts Manipulative (construct a classroom set of materials) 25 pts Student interviews about beliefs about math and implications for teaching 25 pts Investigation of student error patterns in algebra 50 pts Van Hiele Analysis of students developmental levels in geometry 25 pts Software evaluation 25 pts Develop prompt and scoring criteria 100 pts Miscellaneous homework assignments (e.g. investigate use of manipulatives, evaluate sample lessons, observations, score student work using KERA criteria) NOTE TO RECEIVE A PASSING GRADE (C OR HIGHER) YOU MUST HAVE A C AVERAGE ON ALL TESTS IN THE COURSE) COURSE GOALS: The NCTM Standards and the subsequent KERA guidelines for teaching mathematics underlie the expectations for this course. The Standards provide recommendations both as to the mathematics content and methodology appropriate for teaching mathematics in high school. This course will try to model the suggested content and the student-centered methodology which includes problem solving, use of manipulatives, cooperative learning, and
2 application of mathematics to real life. Through in-class activities, students will learn of alternative approaches to teaching standard high school mathematics as well as become familiar with resources: manipulatives, software and activity books. Students will also be expected to become familiar with mathematics education organizations and begin through their portfolio to garner activities which exemplify the NCTM recommendations. The course also strives to intertwine an understanding of the mathematics content and methodology with the current research on teaching and learning mathematics. These goals along with the portfolio elements strive to prepare the perspective teacher for student teaching and for certification in secondary mathematics teaching. As a reminder of the connection between the professional education program, Math 208 and the teacher expectations under KERA, a copy of the TEP matrix entries directly connected with this course have been appended to this syllabus. Students are expected to become familiar with these objectives and the ways in which this course along with the other professional education courses seek to assist students in meeting these objectives. COURSE OUTLINE: I. Background reading and discussions A. Attitudes towards mathematics (student interviews) B. Affective issues and teaching C.

Software: (Counting on Frank, Logical Journey, Math Blaster Mystery) In addition to the activities and readings, students will view and discuss Marilyn Burn s video tapes on using manipulatives in the middle school curriculum and view mathematics movies like Powers of Ten, Theorem of Pythagoras, Algebra for Everyone, and Story of Pi. ASSIGNMENTS: In additional to daily assignments students will be expected to develop elements for the Kentucky s Professional Portfolio, familiarize themselves with teaching and learning issues in the high school curriculum and refining skills needed for student teaching. POLICIES: Disability Statement: Any student who has a disability that may prevent him/her from fully demonstrating his/her abilities should contact Carol Barnett, PhD, LCSW, the Disability Services Coordinator at (859) to discuss accommodations necessary to ensure his/her full participation in this course. Attendance: Since the focus of the class centers on modeling mathematical activities and using manipulatives, it is essential that students be present, prepared and actively participate in all class activities. This attendance is expected in this class everyday. Any absences beyond three for the semester will adversely affect the student s grade in the course, potentially resulting in lowering the student s grade by one letter grade.
4 Final: Final exam will be comprehensive. Date Fri Dec. 12 at 10 am. Final Grades: A student s grade may be raised by one letter grade above the actual percent earned if in the instructor s opinion the student has shown exceptional improvement since the beginning of the semester or if the student has shown outstanding work on the final exam.
5 TEP Performance Goals and Indicators Matrix for Mathematics Education 1 Teachers demonstrate their understanding of the centrality of inquiry in a learning community; the critical role of communication in inquiry; and the confidence that grows with the development of our ability to participate in a community of inquiry. 2 students can identify pedagogical strategies that encourage constructive dialogue in the classroom and can incorporate these in planning for 7 students recognize the importance of learners conducting their own inquiries 8 students can identify ways of organizing that emphasize both cooperative and independent inquiry 10 students can identify strategies that develop students thinking and communication skills and can incorporate these in planning for 2 Teachers demonstrate both a general knowledge of all subject matter in the school curriculum in order to understand the interrelationships among disciplines, and an in-depth understanding of the subject matter for which they are directly responsible, including the origins, development, and structure of each discipline; its core concepts and principles; its pedagogical framework; and its application in daily life. 1 students demonstrate in their planning the knowledge and ability to make explicit both the boundaries and connections between subject matters 2 students demonstrate a knowledge of the structure of subject matter and are able to plan for in a way that makes the structure explicit for students 3 students recognize subject matter as dynamic, not static or finite, and make al plans to represent subject matter this way 4 students have accurate knowledge and understanding of subject matter, including its ambiguities and paradoxes MAT315, 321
