Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Education Emphasis

USA

What will I learn?

This emphasis prepares students who aspire to teach math in middle school or high school. Mathematics is a cornerstone to any education. Students seeking a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with an Education emphasis study core math courses as well as pedagogy to equip them to teach at the secondary level. Graduates can earn certification by the Arizona Department of Education to teach mathematics in grades 6-12 and are eligible for earning certifications in other states. Undergraduates gain expert knowledge through an inquiry-based approach. Plus, they garner hands-on teaching experience in subjects like algebra, geometry and calculus through student teaching roles at partner schools.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Apply computational methods; Math majors should be able to apply computational methods and mathematical concepts to analyze scientific problems

Apply mathematical models to current problems; Math majors should be able to critically evaluate and extend selected mathematical models in the current scientific literature.

Create valid proofs; Students should be able to identify an appropriate proof strategy and almost always able to create a correct proof using multiple strategies as appropriate.

Define Terms Precisely; Precision is essential in mathematics, and a crucial skill for math majors is to learn to define mathematical terms precisely.

Effective communication of results; Math majors should be able to effectively communicate results to non-specialized audiences in written and verbal form.

Recognize valid arguments; Logical rigor is a critical component of mathematical argumentation. We expect math majors to develop the ability to recognize when arguments are valid, and identify logical gaps and flaws.
