Probability

This course will provide educators with deep level experiences with concepts in probability and data while preparing them to fundamentally restructure their classrooms so that mathematics instruction is fully aligned with the goals and intent of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000). It is designed to develop and deepen participants’ understandings of:

• the essential mathematics of probability;
• the essential mathematics of data collection and analysis;
• numbers and computational proficiency;
• the nature of learning and characteristics of an optimal learning environment; and
• ways of assessing mathematical understandings
