EDEL 556 - Algebra & Geometry For Teacher 3 Credit Hours This course continues the study of functions, algebra, and geometry from prior CVMI
courses. In this course the focus is on exponential processes and inverse processes, with
an emphasis on problem solving. Topics include the laws of exponents; the transition
from simple to compound interest; calculations with compound interest; exponential
functions, including domain, range, graph, and different bases; logarithm functions as the
inverse of exponential functions; the natural base e and natural logarithms; applications to
growth and decay; applications of logarithms in everyday life; and the history of exponential
functions and logarithms.This course, and the ones that precede it, ready the participant for the year-long curriculum project. Participants study current research on mathematics education and analyze the mathematics content and teaching skills necessary to help students develop additive,
multiplicative, and proportional reasoning. The year-long curriculum project involves the
collection and analysis of student work, the adaptation or creation of lessons
designed to build high-level mathematics understanding, learning about and engaging
in formative assessment in the mathematics classroom, and examining the continuum
of concept development in the elementary and middle grades.
