MATH 618 - Mathematical Technology Resources for STEM Education

Credit Hours: 3

This course is applicable to multiple middle and high school academic disciplines: mathematics, science, technology, and middle/high school engineering such as Project Lead the Way. This course is 100% online in an asynchronous format; modules may be completed anytime within the week assigned. The course content will introduce students to open-source (free) mathematical software packages and tools. Middle and high school teachers will learn how to use these mathematical software packages and tools for mathematical modeling, classroom presentation and demonstration, illustration and exploration of mathematical concepts, and hands-on projects for teaching mathematics. The class will collaborate on a wiki. The prerequisite for this course will be successful completion of undergraduate class in College Algebra and Trigonometry.
