Pedagogical Content Preparation: The Math 74XP Seminar
Math 74XP [previously Math 74SL, 71SL] is a 3-unit seminar course designed to expose students to current issues in elementary mathematics education. Students will discuss current research and standards in math education and practice effective teaching strategies for all learners.
Field Experience: Observations in an Elementary School
Students will observe and help out with mathematics teaching in a local elementary school during the quarter in which they take Math 74XP. Students will keep field notes of their observations and discuss them in the Math 74XP seminar. The field experience requirement is approximately 2.5 to 3 hours per week; 20 hours total during the quarter.
Content Preparation:
Students should be making regular progress toward a STEM major (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math). Other majors are welcome to apply and your eligibility is based on the amount of math classes you have completed.
You may only take Math 74XP (formerly 74SL) one time.
