Welcome to Math for Elementary Teachers
In this course, you will explore math for elementary teachers. You will start by looking at cardinality, and then will move on to examine place value. From there, you will examine the number system, and also operations and integers. You will also learn about fraction concepts and computation with fractions, as well as measurement. You will examine perimeter and area, surface area and volume, two- and three-dimensional shapes, and plotting on the coordinate grid. You will also explore ratios and proportional relationships, as well as algebraic expressions and equations. Finally, you will take a closer look at functions, and statistics and probability.
