General Information
This course examines algebraic thinking in the context of middle school algebra, with emphasis on mathematical reasoning, conceptual reasoning, and communicating concepts effectively.
This algebra course is designed specifically for future teachers, and is strongly recommended for those pursuing the 15-credit middle school mathematics endorsement. It is also very suitable for future teachers at the elementary level who are strong mathematically (e.g. who have done well in another 100 level mathematics course at Rutgers). The emphasis of the course is on understanding the mathematics conceptually, and articulating the reasoning process. The prerequisite is Math 026:Intermediate Algebra, or equivalent, or Math 107. Many students take Math 107 before 110, but taking the courses in this sequence is not required. Registration for Math 110 requires a special permission number. Please apply for an SPN via Special Permission for K-8 Teaching Courses. The course is typically offered in the spring semester.
