Mathematics Education Introduction

The Mathematics Education program provides a dual focus: a foundation in mathematical theory combined with proven teaching methods.

You’ll learn important teaching skills through:

• Instructional Methods: Study the science of how humans learn and learn how to meet student needs. 

• Classroom Management: Build a positive learning environment where students feel safe to make mistakes and grow. 

• The Power of Proof: Learn to shift students' mindsets from simple calculation to logical reasoning and questioning assumptions. 

You’ll prepare to cover the foundations of the mathematical world:

• The Foundations of Change: Master Calculus and Linear Algebra to understand rates of change and massive sets of variables. 

• The Logic of the Why: Dive into Analysis and Abstract Algebra to prove mathematical truths from scratch. 

• The Power of Prediction: Use Statistics and Probability to map everything from scientific trends to game theory. 

Mathematics Education students choose a minor to become certified to teach in a second area, making you a high-value candidate for school districts. Options include:

• American Government 
• Biology 
• English 
• History
