Mathematics V

Base Knowledge

Mathematical concepts of the CU  Mathematics I, Mathematics II, Mathematics III, and Mathematics IV.

Teaching Methodologies

The lessons will be theoretical/pratices. It will be given articles, for being studied, presented and discussed by the students, about the contents of the syllabus. The students will carry out tasks that will integrate and evaluate technology in mathematics education and they will plan them according to pedagogical and curricular views, only after mastering the respective artefacts. Some critical points of the students learnings, connected with concepts already studied in Maths I, II. III and IV courses will be analysed again through the use of thecnology. The teaching methodology should implement of work practices in colaboration.
The assessment in this CU will be performed by students in one of two ways: a) Continuous assessment: two written tests, each one quoted of 0 to 3 values (30%); a project, quoted of 0 to 6 values (30%); participation in classroom tasks, quoted, in total, from 0 to 5 values (25%); individual reflection, quoted from 0 to 3 value (15%).
b) Assessment by exam.

Learning Results

1. To develop technical, pedagogical and didactic competences on how technology can be integrated into pre-school education and elementary school.
2. To deepen knowledge about mathematical concepts;
3. To deepen the development of spatial visual skills;
4. To reflect on software evaluation;
5. To build situations of technology integration in mathematics education;
6. To analyze the implications of using technology in mathematics education;
7.To analyze and explore experiences in mathematics education that integrate technology in the classroom.

Program

1. Perspectives on the integration of technology in learning and teaching Elementary Mathematics
2. Educational software for the integration in teaching and learning of Elementary Mathematics: Applets,
Excel and Geogebra
3. Means to facilitate learning: the HypatiaMat platform and interactive whiteboards
4. Evaluation of educational software
