Course: MA207
Title: "Multiple Representations: How can I design math investigations that support graphic, numeric, and symbolic representations?"
Author: Evan Glazer
Course Fee: $150.00
Credits: 1 graduate credit available
Instructor: LTTS Facilitator
Abstract: Mathematics concepts can be difficult to understand when they are taught in one particular way. The NCTM Standards emphasize that students need opportunities to understand mathematics through multiple representations, including graphs, numbers, and symbols. Teachers need to provide opportunities for students to explore multiple perspectives to help make concepts more concrete. The use of representations is one strategy that can serve this purpose. In this course, you will design a set of inquiry-based learning activities (lesson plans) that use multiple representations to introduce or reinforce concepts in your mathematics curriculum.
Outcomes:
Outcomes: After completion of this course, you will be able to:
  • Identify local, state, and national content and technology standards as a basis for designing your lessons.
  • Develop or repurpose mathematics problems that encourage students to create multiple representations in solving them.
  • Create an assessment plan for evaluating student learning.
  • Create a rubric to assess student learning.
  • Develop an implementation plan.
Timeline: You will have 12 weeks to complete this course. If you wish to complete the course after this period, you must re-enroll and pay any applicable enrollment fee.
