Overall Educational Objective This course is an extension of Methods of Teaching Mathematics I where prospective teachers learn different teaching methods, curriculum and assessment methods in mathematics education. In this course, prospective teachers will focus on specifically on producing lesson plans, exams, curriculum materials to be used in their field experiences. They will focus on children’s thinking, collaborative learning, learning with problem solving and project-based learning.
Course Description This course will provide opportunities for prospective middle school mathematics teachers to gain the skills to understand and apply the principles of effective mathematics teaching. In the course, special approaches and strategies will be taught to the subjects of mathematics taught in secondary school. In particular, subjects such as lesson planning, question writing, and assessment and evaluation will be examined.

Teaching MethodsLecture, class discussions and reflections, in class mictoteaching, writing assignments, field observations and projects.
Homework and ProjectsIt should be noted that an important base and part of course activities is reading the required textbook. This is an expectation that some students may not be accustomed to, but is essential to thoroughly understanding the course. Students should do assigned pre-class work (such as watching case videos, reading papers and chapters of the textbook) and come to class prepared to discuss and contribute to class deliberations. Also, students are expected to write weekly field observation logs on assigned themes, plan lessons (sometimes collaboratively), enact teaching in class and at field schools and write reflections on these experiences. Students are expected to get engaged in activities that are of benefit to students of the schools that they are placed and document and report on these activities.
