Geometry: Teaching About Shapes and Their Measures 

Adult basic education students need foundational geometry and measurement
skills not only to succeed in GED math, but also in the workplace. In this
course, you will explore key topics in geometry, such as area, perimeter,
and volume, and their importance in everyday life. You'll look at numerous
instructional activities for teaching about angles, spatial relationships,
similarity, and figure transformations on a coordinate graph system.

Course dates: February 13 to March 26, 2012

Data: Helping Students Interpret Statistical Representations 

Data, or numerical information, can be described, represented, analyzed, and
interpreted in various ways for various purposes. This course looks at some
common uses (and misuses) of data. Learn about the measures of central
tendency statistics, graphs, and probability. Through the course readings,
activities, and discussions, you'll review basic concepts and explore
strategies for introducing and teaching these concepts to your adult
students.

Algebra: Introducing Algebraic Reasoning 

Research suggests that math topics, including algebra, should be taught at
all levels, not just when a student is ready for GED preparation. In this
course, you'll learn how to introduce algebraic reasoning to your students,
and you'll experiment with strategies for teaching numeric patterns,
relationships, and functions based on real-life situations. You'll also
explore strategies to help students model quantitative relationships using
graphs, tables, words, and equations.

Introduction to College Transition Math

Through the readings and activities in this course, you will reflect on your
own and your students' math backgrounds, examine and experience the college
placement test your students take, try out math activities and exercises you
can use in your classrooms, and explore the math knowledge and skills you
will want to present to your own college transition students.

Course Dates: February 27-April 23, 2012
