Mathematics Support for the NYS Teacher Certification Exam

In this course, students will engage in the learning of content, that is on the Multi-Subject: Teachers of Early Childhood (Birth – Grade 2) and Childhood Ed (Grades 1 - 6) New York State Teacher Certification Exam, in a supportive online environment through direct instruction and small group problem solving. We will be working on understanding and applying properties of operations and proportions to solve problems involving algebraic equations, ratios, percents, slope and measurement. We will embed geometric concepts, such as surface area, volume and Pythagorean Theorem in problem solving.

"Professor Charlene explained the math concepts, formula and methods in ways that were very simple and easy to understand."

"I was intimidated about taking a math class and thought I would do terrible. It was actually an engaging class and I learned a lot."

"It was a good way to refresh skills I haven't used in decades or everyday life."
