The graduate math core courses for the M.A.T.H. option
are listed below. Three of the core courses, Math 6010, 6020, and 6030, present
fundamental areas of mathematics found in the high school curriculum from an advanced point of view. The remaining core courses, Math 6040, 6050, and 6060, provide
a broader view of mathematics. There are also two required courses offered in the School of Education.
- (1) Six M.A.T.H. core courses at 4 units each
- Math 6015 Algebra for Teachers
- Math 6025 Geometry for Teachers
- Math 6035 Analysis for Teachers
- Math 6045 Mathematics for Teachers
- Math 6055 Discrete Math
- Math 6065 Connections in Mathematics
- (2) Two Teacher Education Courses at 4 units each selected from
- T ED 6010 Seminar in Teaching and Learning Elementary Mathematics
- T ED 6021 Seminar in Diagnosis and Treatment of Learning Difficulties in Mathematics
- T ED 6030 Seminar on Problem Solving and Critical Thinking in Mathematics
- T ED 6040 Advanced Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics
- (3) 4 quarter units of upper division or graduate level statistics to be approved by the Math Graduate Coordinator.
- (4) 4-8 quarter units of upper division or graduate electives to be approved by the Math Graduate Coordinator.
(5) Math 6899 Project. 1-5 quarter units.
All students are required to do a project in order to receive the M.S.
in Mathematics, Option II.
This project may take many forms; including the design and
implementation of new curricular materials, applying for and securing
outside funding for a math-based project, creating a math teaching
resource site, writing and submitting a research paper for publication, or
implementing an effective mathematical outreach program.
