MATH 3008 - Numeracy

(3) Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to Teacher Education
The course is part of the Special Education major and is designed to help teachers adapt instruction for students with exceptionalities in mathematics. Course content includes assessing the nature and level of students’ P-12 mathematics using a model of mathematical learning and designing developmentally appropriate instruction based on the results of such assessments. Course Outcome Goals: This course focuses on preparing special education majors to: (1)Identify students who have a mathematical learning disability by knowing and applying the various criteria for mathematical learning disabilities. (2)Use models of mathematical learning to identify the nature or type of a mathematical learning disability. (3)Use models of mathematical learning to develop instruction that allows students with mathematical learning disabilities to achieve required numeracy standards.
