Mathematics Education Program An important part of the mission of the Department of Mathematics is the area of Mathematics Education. The Department of Mathematics: Prepares pre-service teachers to become successful teachers of mathematics at the elementary, middle, and secondary school levels. Offers professional development courses for in-service teachers to increase their knowledge of mathematics and the teaching of mathematics (See Creative Geometry Workshop). Offers a M.A.T. degree by distance learning for high school teachers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of mathematics. Adds to the body of research on the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. Some of Our Math Ed Courses: Geometry (Math 390) Math Ed activities planned for Summer 2002 include several workshops, including Data Driven Mathematics I and II, Creative Geometry, and the Polya Extended project.
