As an introduction to the use of logical, quantitative, and spatial reasoning in the discipline of mathematics, students in this course examine the mathematical topics of set theory, numeration, number theory, functions, graphs, patterns, and the structure of real numbers. Students investigate the interrelationships among these topics, with an emphasis on algebraic, geometric, and kinesthetic modeling, inductive and deductive logic, and proofs using pictures. Designed for pre-service elementary school teachers, this course is appropriate for all students interested in a deeper understanding of the structure of mathematics. Methods of instruction for activity hours are provided in a lab setting.
