Mathematics Courses for Teachers and the Common Core State Standards: Presentation by Brad Findell
\n
\nWith the widespread adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM)\, university mathematics departments have an opportunity to capitalize on the document&rsquo\;s careful description and development of key mathematical ideas across grades K-12. Rather than encouraging tricks for &ldquo\;answer-getting\,&rdquo\; the CCSSM supports and calls for mathematical reasoning to support key results and algorithms. For example\, the meaning of place value and the properties of operations support algorithms for whole-number arithmetic\; unit fractions and length and area models support fraction arithmetic\; ratios and proportional reasoning support the development of functions\; and transformations support congruence and similarity in geometry. The talk will
\ndescribe The Ohio State University&rsquo\;s courses for mathematics teachers at elementary\, middle grades\, and high school\, including examples such as these.
