This course is recommended for secondary cerified teachers hoping to gain a deeper understanding of content and pedagogical techniques in algebra and geometry. The National Council of Teachers of Mathemeatics, Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, and the Pennsylvania State Standards for Mathematics are a major focus. The topics covered include Real and Complex numbers, functions, equations, integers, and polynomials, number system structures, congruence, distance, and similarity, trigonometry, area and volume, axiomatics and Euclidean Geometry. The graphing calculator (TI83) and other technology will be used throughout the course of foster discovery and to gain insights into the fundamental concepts.
