EDMA-625	Mathematics, Science, and Technology I	3.0	Education
Candidates examine an integrated approach to the teaching of national and state mathematics, science and technology (MST) standards in the context of real world problem solving. Candidates explore 10 strands of mathematical study: problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, representation, number sense and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, probability and statistics and two major strands of science study: life and physical science. Candidates incorporate constructivist and project based teaching and assessment techniques in MST lesson/unit planning and instructional projects that address the needs of diverse learners in the context of reflective practice. Field experiences are required and integrated into the course.

Candidates explore issues, resources, technologies and methods to create integrated MST experiences and plan effective lessons for diverse student population. Candidate will investigate appropriate assessment strategies and the application of various technologies and Web resources. Field experiences are required and integrated into the course. Prerequisite Course(s): EDMA-625 or EDSC-625
EDMA-627	Mathematics and Technology in Education I	3.0	Education
The candidates will examine the role of mathematics and technology in the elementary school and middle school environment. Methods of teaching mathematical content; mathematical reasoning, operations, and modeling/multiple representations will be integrated with inquiry based strategies of instruction. The candidate will learn strategies to address the needs of the diverse learner in the context of reflective practice. The New York State standards and assessments and national standards will be examined and discussed. Constructivist and project based teaching techniques will be guiding concepts though out the course. Prerequisite Course(s): EDMA-625
EDMA-628	Mathematics and Technology in Education II	3.0	Education
The candidates examine the role of mathematics and technology in the elementary and middle school classroom. Problem solving, measurement, uncertainty , algebra, and geometry will be integrated with inquiry based strategies of instruction. The candidate will examine the content and implications of the New York State standards and assessments in mathematics. Constructivist and project based teaching and assessment techniques will be guiding principles throughout the course. The candidate will learn research based strategies to address the needs of diverse learners in the context of reflective practice. Prerequisite Course(s): EDMA-627
EDMA-629	Mathematics and Technology in Education III	3.0	Education
The candidates examine the concepts of probability and statistics integrated with inquiry based strategies of instruction in the childhood and middle childhood classroom. The following methods of summarizing the information of large data sets are introduced: histograms and other graphs, averages, standard deviations, and the normal approximation. The correlation coefficient is introduced as a measure of the strength of association between two quantities. Standard T tests, Chisquare tests, and related confidence intervals are introduced with emphasis on the role of the chance model, and the interpretation of results. The integration of technology, the literacy of mathematics, constructivist and project based teaching and assessment techniques will be guiding principles throughout the course. The candidate will learn research based strategies to address the needs of diverse learners in the context of reflective practice. Ten hours of observation are required. Prerequisite Course(s): EDMA-628
