Program: The Elementary School Mathematics Licensure Program is an 18-hour program that meets all of the requirements for the North Carolina Elementary School Mathematics Add-On License. Fifteen of the 18 hours can also be included as part of the Master of Education in Elementary Education degree.

Prerequisite: Admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education programs.

ELED 6311. Number Systems and Operations: K-5 Mathematical Tasks. (3) Prerequisite: Admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Analysis and construction of effective mathematical tasks in teaching number systems and operations at the K-5 level. Attention is also given to the expansion of content knowledge. (Fall,Spring, Summer)

ELED 6312. Geometry and Spatial Visualization: K-5 Assessment. (3) Prerequisites: ELED 6311 and admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Formative and summative assessment strategies of students’ geometric thinking in elementary grades; concept development of 2- and 3-dimensional geometry. Attention also given to diagnosis of student errors. (Fall,Spring, Summer)

ELED 6313. Algebraic Reasoning: K-5 Discourse and Questioning. (3)Prerequisites: ELED 6311 and admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Focus on the early algebra concepts of functional thinking and generalized arithmetic in relationship to pedagogical practices centered on questioning in the mathematics classroom. (Fall, Spring, Summer)

ELED 6314. Rational Numbers and Operations: K-5 Learning Trajectories. (3) Prerequisites: ELED 6311 and admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Focus on rational number concepts through learning trajectories at the K-5 level. Attention also given to problem solving and content knowledge. (Fall, Spring, Summer)

ELED 6315. Data Analysis and Measurement: K-5 Classroom Interactions. (3) Prerequisites: ELED 6311 and admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Focus on statistical literacy of elementary teachers and the teaching of data analysis and measurement to K-5 students. Attention is also given to learning methods which facilitate appropriate classroom interactions. (Fall, Spring, Summer)

ELED 6316. Mathematical Modeling: K-5 Leadership. (3)Prerequisites: ELED 6311, 6312, 6313, 6314, and 6315; and admission to the Elementary School Mathematics Add-on Licensure or M.Ed. in Elementary Education program. Generating mathematical representations and making explicit connections between concepts. Pedagogy designed to equip elementary teachers to become mathematics teacher-leaders in school settings. Focus given to topics integrated within mathematical strands. (Fall, Spring, Summer)
