Course Description
Today's headlines emphasize the need to prepare students for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers; yet preparing students to be mathematically literate in today's world is a heavy charge. Learners must know how to think mathematically, be critical consumers of information, collaborate with others to reach common goals, and apply mathematical skills and understanding to tackle atypical, real-world problems. Educators in this course explore practices to orchestrate meaningful mathematical discussions in the classroom that engage students' intellect, stretch their thinking, increase their mathematical understanding, and expand their toolkit for solving everyday problems.Applications for each non-degree, credit-bearing, course are reviewed by Walden University’s Admissions Office. Therefore, only a single credit-bearing Walden course can be purchased at a time until an admission decision is rendered (usually within 2 business days).
