The Education Studies Mathematics Education Minor is intended for students interested in understanding how people learn mathematics, including: students considering K-12 teaching as a career; students interested in teaching at the college level; and students who are interested in becoming better, more reflective, learners. The Calculus 10 or 20 sequence is a pre-requisite for two of the upper division courses required for the Minor.

Courses will explore people’s learning difficulties in mathematics, and develop the components of the knowledge base necessary for teaching mathematics (knowledge of the mathematics content, knowledge of how students learn the mathematics content and knowledge of how to develop curricula and assessments that promote learning).

Examples from the history of mathematics will be related to the developmental progression of students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. There will also be a focus on working with teachers and students in urban schools and exploring the needs of diverse learners, including English language learners.

Theories of teaching and learning will provide the framework that links together the course-work and experiences in the schools. Mathematics: Secondary Education are ineligible for the EDS Mathematics Education Minor.
