This course is the second of a two-semester sequence designed for prospective elementary education teachers. The course presentation and material will conform to the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards and therefore will present mathematics in the context of problem solving, communication, reasoning and proof, representations, and connections. Students will explore mathematical concepts and theories underlying topics which include: proportional reasoning, statistics, probability, and geometry in terms of shape, transformations, and measurement. Modeling a positive attitude toward mathematics is emphasized as this is important for future educators. This course carries SUNY General Education Mathematics (and Quanitative Reasoning) credit.Prerequisite: Take MAT-180 with a Minimum Grade of C-
