=Math 201 & Math 202=

The Department of Mathematics offers two courses ([|Math 201] & [|Math 202]) in elementary mathematics content. The course is often taught by graduate students in either mathematics or the Division of Science and Mathematics Education. The content spans two semesters which the students are allowed to take anytime before their internship year. The courses focus on the mathematical content behind teaching in an elementary school. These courses are designed to help with the content knowledge so that in the later methods courses more exposure to the methods instead of the content, so that experiences in the field placement can be interwoven with experiences in the methods course.

It is the assumption of the TE 402 and TE 801 courses that the material has been covered before, which means that we may spend time reviewing but not teaching the content. This is not always the case, but the TE courses are not geared toward teaching the material.
