Mathematics S65. The Teaching of Geometry.—Both Terms. 2:30; C.H. 11.
Credit, one session hour elective in Education. First Term, Mr. Michie.
Second Term, Mr. Oglesby.

This course presupposes a knowledge of the subject matter of elementary Geometry,
but it seeks to establish principles for the organization of that knowledge,
for the selection of illustrative material, and for the attack upon original exercises.

The recommendations of the National Committee on Mathematical Requirements
are examined and the social significance of mathematics as a tool of exact science
and as a norm of clear thinking is stressed. Class assignments are made with reference
to their suggestiveness in pointing out types of pupil assignments.

Mr. Michie. Second Term, Mr. Oglesby.

This course aims to present the best modern practice in the teaching of Algebra.

While emphasis will be placed on a knowledge of the subject matter, typical methods
of presenting algebra will be considered. The course is intended for teachers
of algebra in four-year high schools.
