Module 2: Mathematical Processes and Content

Module Outline

Module Two: Mathematical Processes and Content

In this module participants will develop understanding of the role of knowledge of mathematics for teaching and its impact on student learning. Participants will also explore the seven process expectations and consider more deeply the role of representation in supporting deep understanding of mathematics. Participants will engage in collaborative study to understand big ideas in the five strands, and will study in greater depth big ideas in the number sense and numeration strand, and determine how a strong foundation in number connects to all mathematics learning.

OCT Expectations: B3, B17, D8, E2, E4, E19, H11, I1, I2, I3

Community of Learners Online - Self and Instructor Assessment

Online Engagement in Community of Learners 30%

The online engagement in community of learners is an extension of the onsite face to face engagement. It will build on thinking and learning developed in the class and provide opportunities for additional collaborative research and learning, as well as sharing of insights, reflecting up others’ thinking, and providing feedback. Essential to the development of this community is attention to the quantity, quality, and timeliness of engagement. Participants will self-assess twice during the course; the instructor will also assess twice during the course and provide feedback (15% mid course, 15% end of course).
