Mathematics teaching at any level requires teachers to have extensive knowledge of mathematics on three different fronts:  knowledge of specialized content and curriculum, knowledge of best teaching practices, and knowledge of how students learn.

Designed for elementary teachers, as well as mathematics specialists and coordinators, the Master of Education with a specialization in Elementary Mathematics incorporates both mathematics content and pedagogy.

The curriculum reflects graduate level mathematics content, emphasizing mathematical structures essential to elementary grades, including: number and operations, algebra, geometry, data analysis, and probability. Students will learn content through experiences that model the way subject matter should be taught in the classroom.

Courses may be taken individually or as a part of the Master’s Degree in Elementary Mathematics. All courses are available to be delivered off-campus in a school district or regional setting.
