The aspiring or current K-12 educator will explore the connection between mathematics, language, and mindset. They will deepen their understanding of the importance for both students and teacher/tutor to adopt a positive growth mindset around their ability to do math. Candidates will explore math as a language and examine the words that can be used to build concrete/visual understanding, which is critical for a strong foundation in mathematics.
In this course, you will:
- Identify a plan of action for adopting and teaching students to have a positive growth mindset about math.
- Reflect on how math is used in the world around us.
- Recognize that numbers and symbols are used to represent the concrete/visual world that we already experience and speak about daily.
- Acquire and Apply knowledge of the Concrete-Representational-Abstract progression.
