Course Description

This is the second of a two-course sequence designed for students who plan to enter elementary school teaching. The course covers geometry, measurement, statistics and probability. This course requires all students must meet the requirements of a criminal background check.

Prerequisites

(A requirement that must be completed before taking this course.)

Course Competencies

Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• Solve problems in two- and three-dimensional geometry using multiple strategies, including technological approaches.
• Explain concepts about two- and three-dimensional geometry.
• Solve problems involving measurement and the metric system.
• Explain concepts of measurement and the metric system.
• Solve problems involving length and area.
• Solve problems involving surface area and volume.
• Construct graphs to organize and display data by hand and using technological tools.
• Analyze data using simple statistical methods and technological tools.
• Interpret data and statistical information graphically.
• Apply principles of elementary probability and inference applicable to game and real-world situations.
