Mathematics for Elementary Teachers I Course Objectives
- Convert measurements within a system of measurement and from one system of measurement
to another.
- Find the perimeter and area of plane figures.
- Identify basic geometric figures and solids and their properties.
- Solve triangle problems involving the concepts of congruence and similarity.
- Do elementary geometric constructions using a variety of tools. Solve applied right
triangle problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. Graph a linear equation in the Cartesian
Coordinate System.
- Solve applied problems involving probability, permutations and combinations, and mathematical
expectation. Summarize data in frequency distributions and stem-and-leaf plots. Find
measures of central tendency such as the mean, median, and mode. Find measures of
dispersion such as the range and standard deviation.
- Identify symmetries of plane figures. Draw and analyze tessellations based on various
polygonal regions.
- Find the surface area and volume of solids.
- Perform basic isometries of the plane.
