Mathematics
education
The ties between our math programs and professionals in the field are
strong. Faculty members spend significant time in the schools with active and retired
teachers to conduct research that will improve math materials and help teachers teach
more effectively. Students choosing this field of study will find themselves challenged
with the latest ideas and theories in mathematics. Our faculty, all of whom have taught
at the middle school and high school levels, are leaders in research on new curricula and
application of new graduation standards in Minnesota schools.
Coursework in this field emphasizes teaching through hands-on methods that
focus on problem solving, spatial visualization, and algebraic competence.
