Mathematics Course Overview

 

PJI

Instructor: Don Fraser

The goal this year is to help you prepare yourself to become a competent and confident teacher of mathematics. Resources to achieve this goal include our regular math class, your classmates, your past experiences, and students and teachers you will meet in the schools this year.

In 2000/2001 math expectations in Ontario, for each grade 1-8, are organized into five strands:

With reference to each of these strands some things will be emphasized:

Hopefully all the above and more will happen in a fun, thoughtful and interactive way and you will develop a ‘joie des mathematiques’!"

3. PROFESSIONALISM
Each instructor contributes a mark out of 15. These marks are then averaged so that you receive one mark out of 15 which will be attached to every course in the East Option.

Don's mark will be based on attendance, punctuality, class contributions, in-class quizzes, the successful completion of homework, the sharing of ideas from STEP and Practice Teaching. Initiative shown in independently exploring teaching ideas is also expected!
