The course will examine algebra of sets, relation, mapping and functions; equivalence relation, properties of integers, linear and exponential series, intuitive treatment of convergence and divergence of series: - the comparison ratio and root test; partial fractions and mathematical induction. It will also examine the techniques of differentiation applied to various functions.
This course introduces students to elementary vector algebra and its applications in solving routine problems in geometry and mechanics; geometrical and physical interpretation of fundamental vector concepts
The course is designed to enable students develop and apply valuable instructional materials in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning of mathematics. Instructional materials include charts, graphs, models and multi-sensory aids. The course will also provide students with the opportunity to develop skills in adapting resources to suit the learning needs of their students
A study of Mathematics Education in the Elementary School (Primary and Junior Secondary School); a critical appraisal and study of mathematics curriculum, methods and materials for teaching at these levels.
The course exposes students to mathematical problem solving techniques and will also help them use their experience to examine theories of problem solving abilities in appropriate pedagogical techniques for problem solving at specific grade levels.
This course will offer the opportunity for students to learn issues relating to the Senior High School curriculum such as the scope, aims, objectives and the profile dimensions of the and their implications for pedagogy.
This is a practicum aimed at offering students the opportunity to design and implement research projects in education. Students will thus have the opportunity to put into practice what they learn in EMA 399: Research Methods in Education.
The course provides trainees’ opportunities to develop their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) and skills to design, enact and evaluate ICT-based lessons using a variety of ICT tools that support different teaching and learning strategies.
This course is designed to exposes students to nature and functions of measurement in mathematics education.
This course is designed to introduce students to the basic idea of research, research terminologies and their meaning as well as the processes involved in conducting mathematics education research.
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to conduct small scale research studies in mathematics education.
