Learning, Teaching and Applying Number and Algebra (EBS 101) is a 3-credit hour course and it is intended to deepen student teachers’ understanding of Number and Algebra. The course commences with an audit of subject knowledge to establish support for addressing student teachers’ learning needs, perceptions and misconceptions in Number and Algebra.
This will be done through practical interactive approaches to review student teachers’ previous knowledge and experiences within the scope of Number and Algebra. The development of knowledge, skills and generalization of fundamental concepts of Number and Algebra can lead to a student teacher’s ability to apply these areas of mathematics. Algebra is about generalized mathematical thinking arising from observing and applying patterns in creating relationships. Such patterning, generalization and algebraic reasoning will serve as a means to develop deductive and inductive reasoning in student teachers.
Topics in Number and Algebra include; recognizing and developing patterns, using numbers and number operations, properties of numbers, concept of sets, number bases and modulo arithmetic, and algebraic expressions. In addition, student teachers will explore operations on algebraic expressions, and to apply mathematical properties to algebraic equations and functions as found in the basic school mathematics curriculum.
