COURSE DESCRIPTION :

This course equips prospective teachers with pedagogical content knowledge for the
teaching of basic contents in mathematics in the primary level. Understanding of key
concepts and skills of whole numbers up to 10,000, fractions, measurement, simple
geometric figures, pre-algebra concepts and data representation and analysis are
applied using appropriate technology. Teaching strategies include problem solving,
critical thinking, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning with the use of
manipulatives based on cultural context will be emphasized.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

1. Demonstrate basic mathematical skills and problem-solving process.


2. Demonstrate the ability to solve and formulate problems in math.
3. Demonstrate mastery of math concepts needed in order to teacher elementary
mathematics effectively.
4. Demonstrate intuitive understanding of the basic ideas in geometry and
measurements.
5. Make a research-based instructional materials in teaching mathematics for
primary grade.
