Major Academic Plan (MAP) Why become a middle school math teacher? Middle school students turn their focus from fundamentals to more sophisticated mathematical concepts and models that are used to explain and solve problems in our world. A major in middle school mathematics will increase your understanding of how mathematics builds from the fundamental to the abstract, of how students grow in their capacity to reason mathematically and to solve problems, and of means to foster this growth. Teaching mathematics to middle school students allows you to make a difference in the lives of young people by empowering them to understand the world mathematically, use quantitative reasoning to make decisions in their lives, and expand their opportunities to choose interesting careers. Student Learning Outcomes Students will: 1. Demonstrate and apply in the classroom a profound understanding of fundamental mathematics within the K–9 curriculum, of how these topics progress within the K–9 range, of how these topics extend and relate to the mathematics in the secondary curriculum, and of the fundamental concepts in the curriculum in the secondary curriculum. 2. Demonstrate and apply in the classroom a deep understanding of how students learn mathematics and of the pedagogical knowledge specific to mathematics teaching and learning. 3. Demonstrate a productive disposition as a student and teacher of mathematics.
