In this course we present a detailed, rigorous, and hands-on examination of the fundamentals of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra as most applicable in the work of teachers in grades K-8. The instruction of the class will seek to model the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice as set out in the Common Core Standards. A guiding principle for the course is to uncover the strands that connect mathematics as a unified and coherent discipline.
