MATH 105 Mathematical Concepts for Elementary Teachers
- Plan to study outside of class at least 8 hours each week, or more if it has been a while since you have taken a math class.
- Study actively by doing practice problems, making note cards, and making study guides.
- Attend professor's student hours (office hours) and math support centers regularly.
- Form study groups with other students in class and try to explain problems as you do them.
Teaching mathematics is a very fulfilling calling! A child’s early mathematical experiences stay with them as they progress through higher education, so it is important to cultivate meaningful relationships while imparting our knowledge to the next generation. Guiding students to engage in learning is the key to building the foundation for a lifelong mathematical journey.

Anyone can learn mathematical concepts! It is not a skill set that one is either born
with or not. YOU are capable not only of learning mathematical concepts, but also
of excelling in mathematical concepts!
