Focuses on mathematical reasoning and problem solving. Topics are selected from: sets, functions and logic, whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, irrational numbers and the real number system (e.g., number theory, probability, statistics, measurement and non-metric geometry). The two-course sequence meets the requirements for state certification in elementary teaching. Fulfills the Illinois Transferable General Education Core Curriculum (iTransfer Gen. Ed.) requirement only for students seeking state certification as elementary teachers or special education teachers. Prerequisite: C or better in intermediate algebra and geometry.Please Note: The IAI approval goes on the second course of the sequence; however representative syllabi for both courses must be included within the course submission of the "Mathematics for Elementary Teaching II." Do not submit the first course as a separate submission.
