MATH 105

Designed for students interested in teaching at the elementary level. Students will work towards developing a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics through physical, pictorial, and symbolic representations. Students will be provided with direct experiences of elementary mathematics through examples of young learners’ mathematical methods. Topics include problem solving strategies, sets, numeration systems, conceptualizations and arithmetic of rational numbers, number theory, ratios, and Euclidean geometry. Note: MATH 105 is a mathematics course aimed at developing mathematical ability and is not a course in the methods of teaching. -- Prerequisite -- One of the following: (C or better in one of Principles of Mathematics 11, Pre-calculus 11, Foundations of Mathematics 12, or MATH 085) or (C+ or better in Applications of Mathematics 12) or (B or better in one of Foundations of Mathematics 11, Calculus 12, Geometry 12, or Statistics 12) or (Pre-calculus 12) or (any UFV MATH course numbered 092 or higher) or (a score of 17/25 or better on Part A of the MSAT). -- Corequisite -- None. -- Pre or Corequisite -- None.
