  • 2. Describe credible theories of learning mathematics including constructivism and its variants.
  • 3. Explain how research in mathematics education is conducted, reported, and applied to teaching and learning practices.
  • 4. illustrate how to use technology (including graphing calculators, software, video, and the Internet while also identifying benefits and obstacles of technology to maximizing student learning (PPP1).
  • 5. Give examples of questioning strategies for the classroom that promote mathematical thinking and dialogue (discourse).
  • 6. Use multiple strategies to support mathematics instruction including differentiation to meet the needs of all learners.
  • 7. Recognize the essential parts of a lesson plan and prepare a lesson plan that includes outcomes, materials, structured sequence of experiences for students, a logical closure, a planned extension, and a plan for assessment.
  • 8. Describe a variety of strategies that teachers can use to promote positive classroom management and the role that effective lesson planning has on classroom environment.
  • 9. Use a variety of assessment strategies to collect data, including electronic means, regarding student academic progress and dispositional development, and to communicate assessment items to student as productive feedback.
  • 10. Participate in programs for professional growth in mathematics education including NCTM, OCTM, OUCTM, journals, ORC, and understand the need for continuous professional improvement.
  • 11. Describe (and demonstrate in lesson planning) how to make the five mathematical processes -such as problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation - the focus of an AYA mathematics program.
