This course delivers specific content and concepts as well as pedagogy for mathematics teaching at the fourth- and fifth-grade levels. Current practices and innovation focusing on Grades 4 and 5 from state and national standard levels will be examined. Teaching methods and practices that encourage the development of higher- order thinking skills will be stressed. Students will construct and design instructional strategies for content and performance standards at the fourth- and fifth-grade levels and design a two-week integrated, multi-disciplinary unit. Hands-on activities and inquiry and discovery-based practices will be shared and modeled.
