COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
1. Analyze the structure and properties of different number systems including real numbers and their subsystems.
2. Use basic number theory including divisibility tests, prime and composite numbers, and the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic.
3. Develop and reinforce conceptual understanding of mathematical topics through the use of patterns, problem solving, communication, connections, modeling, reasoning, and representation.
4. Explain national and state standards for elementary school curriculum, including Common Core.
 

Objectives: Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Perform calculations with place value systems including base ten and other natural number bases.
2. Apply concepts and algorithms from number theory to determine divisibility, least common multiple or greatest common divisor for positive integers and solve related application problems. 
3. Understand the implications of the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic. 
4. Expound on the concept of rational numbers by illustrating them through both ratio and decimal representations. 
5. Describe the arithmetic algorithms for operations on rational numbers. 
6. Describe the structure and properties of integers, rational numbers, and real numbers. 
7. Develop, model, and solve problems using reasoning, logic, and pattern recognition. 
8. Develop activities implementing curriculum standards. 
9. Utilize sets, functions, patterns, connections, modeling, as well as deductive or inductive reasoning as a collective toolkit for problem-solving.
10. Prove mathematical statements involving positive integers by using the Principle of Mathematical Induction.
