MTH 213 - Fundamentals of Elementary Math III

MTH 95  or MTH 96  or designated placement

Course Description: The third term of a three-term sequence designed to prepare pre-service elementary and middle school teachers for entrance into the Oregon teacher certification program. The course will study the topics of geometric shapes, measurement, triangle congruence and similarity, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Use problem-solving steps and strategies to solve problems.
• CLO#2: Use the attributes of dimensionality, shape, angle, line and intersection to view the geometric world and solve problems.
• CLO#3: Use concepts of congruence and similarity to create geometric constructions and solve problems.
• CLO#4: Explain the Cartesian coordinate system and use it to solve problems.
• CLO#5: Use linear measurement, area, surface area, volume, and formulas to solve problems. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
• CLO#6: Use the metric system to solve problems.
• CLO#7: Use translations, rotations, reflections, glide reflections and size transformations to analyze shapes and solve problems.
• CLO#8: Use tessellations of the plane and polyhedron nets to analyze shapes.
