  • MATH 4010: Math Elem Sch Tchrs I

    4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This is the first course in a two-course sequence for prospective elementary school teachers. This is a content course that provides teachers with a deeper understanding of the real number system and arithmetic operations for whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. This provides the conceptual framework that allows teachers to analyze and correct common student misunderstandings in Grades K-6. See the Utah State Core Curriculum at www.usoe.k12.ut.us. Teaching methods pertaining to this material are discussed in EDU 5360. Recommended prerequisite is MATH 1010 with a B- or better or either MATH 2000 or MATH 1050 with a C or better, an Accuplacer AAF score of at least 250, an ACT math score of at least 24, or an SAT math score of at least 580. It is also recommended that prerequisites have been completed within two years prior to taking this course.

  • MATH 4020: Math Elem Sch Tchrs II

    4.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This is a continuation of MATH 4010, but deals with a different part of the mathematics curriculum. It is a content course that gives teachers a better understanding of topics in geometry appropriate to Grades K-6, including measurement, symmetry, geometric shapes, congruence and similarity. The course presents ideas from an intuitive perspective that prepares teachers to discuss geometry with children, and from a computational perspective to enable teachers to work with students to calculate distance, area and volume in both customary and metric units, measure angles, construct figures, and more. A brief discussion of topics in statistics and probability for Grades K-6 is also included. See the Utah State Core Curriculum at www.usoe.k12.ut.us. Teaching methods pertaining to this material are discussed in EDU 5360. Prerequisites for this course expire after one year. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in MATH 4010 AND (MATH 1050 OR MATH 2000 OR MATH 2015 OR IB Math score of 5+).

  • MATH 4090: Tchg Math Sec Schl

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    In this course we discuss teaching methods for secondary classroom, including appropriate use of technology. Important components are developing topics across the curriculum, connections between mathematical concepts, as well as other important issues in running one's classroom: setting norms, goals, assessing students work and knowledge, providing practice and direction, managing diverse populations. This is a hands on class with ample opportunities for teaching. First session course. Prerequisites: "C" or better in (MATH 3100 AND MATH 4030). Corequisites: "C" or better in MATH 4095.

  • MATH 4095: Teaching Practicum

    2.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    This is a practicum course that will parallel MATH 4090. One purpose of this course is to help students develop an awareness of meaningful ways to teach geometry and algebra to students in the 7th through 12th grades. Another purpose of this course is to help students become reflective teachers who can look critically at textbooks, teaching materials, assessments and their own teaching for the purpose of better meeting the needs of students. This course will have a strong student teaching component. Prerequisites: "C" or better in MATH 3100 AND MATH 4030. Co-requisite: MATH 4090.

  • MATH 4100: Intro to Data Science

    3.00 Credits
    University of Utah

    The course begins by bootstrapping student's coding skills in the programming language Python, followed by a review of the relevant concepts from statistics. After that, we will move through a series of data science methods using real-life, project-based, lectures and computer labs. The major goals of this course are to learn how to use tools for acquiring, cleaning, analyzing, exploring, and visualizing data; making data-driven inferences and decisions; and effectively communicating results. These will be accomplished through an in-depth sequence of topics which will introduce students to the following data preparation and analysis methods: Acquiring data through web-scraping and data APIs, Cleaning and reshaping messy datasets using methods such as data frames, regular expressions or dedicated tools, Exploratory data analysis and visualization, Hypothesis testing, Clustering and classification, Rating and ranking, Recommendations, Network analysis, Regression and statistical inference, Natural language processing, Working with large data: databases, parallel programming. A major component of this course will be learning how to use python-based programming tools to apply these methods to real-life datasets. Students should have a basic-level of programming experience before taking this course. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (MATH 1170 OR 1210 OR MATH 1215 OR MATH 1250 OR 1310 OR 1311) OR AP AB Calculus score of 4+ OR AP Calculus BC score of 3+ OR IB Math score of 5+.
