The structure of the course will stress: the interrelationships within mathematics and the connections that exist between mathematics and other disciplines; the communication of mathematics accurately, both orally and in writing; the elements of mathematical modeling; the evaluation, acquisition, and implementation of current technology and resources; the use of estimation and the reasonableness of answers; the integration of appropriate technologies into the curriculum; the use of patterns and relationships to analyze mathematical situations; the use of current literature on the learning and teaching of mathematics; and the opportunity to reflect on students’ own mathematical behavior.
