MA 523 - Mathematical Patterns and Connections

Mastering the transition from whole number computations to algebraic reasoning is a critical stage in mathematical development.  In this course, students will delve deeper into a variety of mathematical topics including patterning, symbolic notation, algebraic properties, signed numbers, rational numbers, real numbers, decimal expressions, geometry, proportional reasoning, problem solving, and quantitative reasoning. The emphasis will be on developing a deeper understanding of these concepts, exploring multiple approaches to problem solving, generating and identifying patterns, and recognizing the interconnectedness of mathematical topics.
