MATH 7378F. Research on Mathematical Problem Solving in Secondary Schools.

In this course a careful study is made of elementary techniques for problem solving in a variety of domains, including algebra, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and logic puzzles. Students will learn these techniques by actually working on a collection of problems in each of these areas. Students will read and examine research about various aspects of problem solving and research in math education that includes both teacher training and student learning.

MATH 7378H. Equity in Mathematics Education.

Equity in Mathematics Education is a course examining research on equity issues in mathematics education. These equity issues will range from race, culture, class, and gender as they relate to the teaching, learning, and schooling of mathematics education. We will look at how equity is framed within the field of mathematics education, what has been addressed, and what has not been conceptualized. The course will help students understand the literature in the field, critique the extant research literature, design research, and consider important facets of teaching for various student groups. Prerequisite: MATH 7306 with a grade of "C" or better.
