MSED 6205 - Orchestrating Mathematical Discourse* (1 semester credits)

1 semester credit

Today's headlines emphasize the need to prepare students for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers; yet preparing students to be mathematically literate in today's world is a heavy charge. Learners must know how to think mathematically, be critical consumers of information, collaborate with others to reach common goals, and apply mathematical skills and understanding to tackle atypical, real-world problems. Educators in this course explore practices to orchestrate meaningful mathematical discussions in the classroom that engage students' intellect, stretch their thinking, increase their mathematical understanding, and expand their toolkit for solving everyday problems.
