Mathematics for Future Elementary Teachers
These lessons focus on understanding why mathematics works - not simply memorizing procedures. Explore mathematical ideas through models, multiple strategies, student thinking, and connections that can help you both understand mathematics and eventually explain it to others.

Use this if you want to work through mathematics in a conceptual progression, from number sense through probability and statistics.
Part I - Number Sense & Place Value (Modules 1-2)
How numbers represent quantity, how place value works, and how numbers can be represented and compared.
Part II - Operations & Number Structure (Modules 3-9)
Develop meaning, strategies, algorithms, and structure for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and factors.
Part III - Geometry & Measurement (Modules 10-14)
Explore geometric language, two- and three-dimensional shapes, measurement, transformations, congruence, and similarity.
Part V - Patterns, Functions & Mathematical Structure (Modules 19-22)
Investigate patterns, generalization, functions, rates of change, and mathematical structure.
Part IV - Proportional & Algebraic Reasoning (Modules 15-18)
Build from ratios and percent into expressions, equality, variables, and equations.
Part VI - Probability, Data & Statistical Reasoning (Modules 23-26)
Explore chance, data collection, graphical displays, measures of center, and variability.
