MATH 5540 - Functions and Modeling for Middle Grades Teachers This course provides an opportunity for middle school teachers to both deepen and expand their understanding of functions through the exploration of linear and exponential function families as well as power functions, polynomial functions, and common logarithmic functions. Attention will be given to multiple representations (e.g., verbal descriptions, tables of values, graphs, and symbolic function rules), to special characteristics of functions (e.g., patterns of change, intercepts, extrema, end behavior), and to modeling with functions. Digital tools will be used throughout the course to facilitate student learning. Open to Upperclass and Graduate students.
Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: MATH 3520 with a grade of “B” or better and MATH 5531 with a grade of “C” or better, or instructor approval.
