Beyond the Catalog: Notes or Advice

This course is new to UMKC after 2006, so its catalog description is included below.
This course is part of an expanded sequence of courses designed by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to provide a substantial and appropriate mathematical education to prospective (or working) elementary-, middle-, and secondary school teachers, and is motivated by recent reports from both the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and the MAA (Mathematical Association of America).
Description: Designed for middle-school mathematics teachers. Algebraic reasoning, patterns and inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, arithmetic and algebra of integers, algebraic systems, algebraic modeling in geometry, axiomatic mathematics. (Also appropriate for elementary school teachers.)
Textbook: "Algebra Connections", by Ira Papick, Mathematics Dept. University of Missouri - Columbia, published by Prentice Hall in January 2006. This text is a product of the Connecting Middle School and College Mathematics NSF project, 2001-2004, to strengthen and improve the mathematics preparation of middle school mathematics teachers.
