Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Topics may include research in instructional strategies, classroom management, assessment techniques, lesson planning, multicultural and gender issues, and beliefs and student learning in mathematics education.

Part one of numbers and operations, algebra, functions and graphs, geometry, measurement, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics concept development. Strategies of problem solving will be used and discussed in the context of various topics.

Part two of numbers and operations, algebra, functions and graphs, geometry, measurement, probability, statistics, and discrete mathematics concept development. Strategies of problem solving will be used and discussed in the context of various topics.

Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Topics include pre-algebra concepts, linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, applications of algebra to real-life situations.

Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Topics include an intuitive development of non-metric geometry concepts, symmetry, motions in geometry, similarity and congruence. Intuitive development of real number measurements in perimeter, area and volume.

Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. This course is designed to acquaint the student with the theory of probability and apply this to statistical theory. Topics include descriptive statistics, random variables, probability distributions, sampling distributions, confidence interval estimation, hypothesis testing, simple linear regression and correlation.

Prerequisite: Permission of the instructor. Topics include graph theory, linear programming, game theory, and related topics as well as applications.

Prerequisite: Approval of the instructor. Selected readings of books and articles in the mathematics education literature.
