MAT 280 - Mathematics for Elementary Teachers II

This course is the second of a two-semester sequence designed for prospective elementary education teachers. The course presentation and material will conform to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards and therefore will present mathematics in the context of problem solving, communication, reasoning and proof, representations, and connections. Students will explore mathematical concepts and theories underlying topics which include: proportional reasoning, statistics, probability, and geometry in terms of shape, transformations, and measurement. Modeling a positive attitude toward mathematics is emphasized as this is important for future educators. This course carries SUNY General Education Mathematics (and Quantitative Reasoning) credit. Prerequisite: Take MAT-180 with a Minimum Grade of C-

MAT 299 - Independent Study

This course is intended to be an extension of a traditional Catalog course. It provides a student the opportunity to pursue advanced study or specialized research in a subject area, exploring it in greater depth and in a more independent manner than is possible in the regular course format. This contract-based experience requires the student to conduct a specialized project under the guidance of a faculty sponsor, with the major responsibility for learning resting with the student. This option is not a substitute for a regularly offered course. Prerequisites: Sponsorship from a faculty member and be an FLCC student who has successfully completed 12 or more credit hours with a minimum Cumulative GPA of 2.0.
