数学毕业project代写 Please carefully read the following description of the requirements for putting together your departmental project and graduation portfolio.

Dear Students in a Certification Program (MA-INIT, MA-TRANS B),

Please carefully read the following description of the requirements for putting together your departmental project and graduation portfolio. Completing a departmental project and assembling a portfolio are integral parts of your program at TC and required for its successful completion.

The portfolio must be handed in to Dr. Weinberg or Dr. Wasserman several months before graduation (exact deadlines are indicated each year by the Registrar’s Office under the listing for deadlines for handing in departmental projects). The portfolio must contain evidence of your achievements in various areas, as well as copies of your departmental project and other requirements.

  1. (For INIT, TRANS B)Content knowledge. You must present a list of the courses in mathematics that you have taken (undergraduate and graduate) and the grades you received – including official transcripts from all institutions. Courses must include:
  • Knowledge of Number and Quantity (e.g. Number theory, Algebra)
  • Knowledge of Algebra (e.g. Algebra, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra)
  • Knowledge of Geometry and Trigonometry (e.g. Foundations of Geometry, Advanced Geometry, Euclidean and non-Euclidean Geometry)
  • Knowledge of Calculus (e.g. Calculus I-IV, Analysis)
  • Knowledge of Discrete Mathematics (e.g. Finite mathematics, Discrete Mathematics)
  • Knowledge of Statistics and Probability (e.g. Finite Mathematics, Statistics, Probability).

During your studies at TC, you and your advisor must choose courses so as to cover all of these six areas. You must provide evidence that you have taken courses in all of these areas, and, ideally, multiple courses in each domain. (The corresponding evidence must be included in Assessment 2.) 数学毕业project代写

  1. (For INIT, TRANS B) You must provide evidence that you have completed unit planning in MSTM 5011 and the grade you received. (The corresponding evidence must be included on the portfolio cover page’s Table 1.)
  2. (For INIT) You must provide evidence that you have: i) completed MSTM 4760; and ii) evidence that you have completed Student Teaching. (The corresponding evidence must be included on the portfolio cover page’s Table 1.)
  3. (For INIT, TRANS B)You must provide evidence that you have completed one course and one project with a focus on diversity or multiculturalism (e.g., MSTM 5020, MSTM 4005, or other courses), listing the title of your project and your grades for the project and the course. (The corresponding evidence must be included on the portfolio cover page’s Table 1.)
  4. (For INIT, TRANS B)You must provide evidence that you have completed MSTM 4019, listing the titles of your project and your grades for the project and the course as a whole. (The corresponding evidence must be included on the portfolio cover page’s Table 1.)
  5. (For INIT, TRANS B)You must provide a cumulative departmental project on a topic of your interest.

Please contact Professor Weinberg or Professor Wasserman if you have any questions.

Instructions

During your studies at Teachers College, you and your advisor must choose courses so as to ensure that you have taken coursework (undergraduate and/or graduate) in each of the six domains below. Ideally, you will have taken multiple courses in each domain.

In Table 1, please provide a list of all the courses in mathematics that you have taken in each domain (undergraduate and graduate) and the grades you received. Undergraduate and graduate transcripts must be attached.

Teachers College Program in Mathematics and Education courses

Below are the mathematics courses that are offered regularly in the Program in Mathematics and Education, each of which serve as evidence of coursework in one (or one of a few) domain(s). At times, the program will also offer other mathematics courses – please consult your advisor with regard to such courses.

Assessment 6 数学毕业project代写

Multiculturalism and Diversity Project

During the course of your studies, you must complete one course with a focus on diversity or multiculturalism. This can be a course within the mathematics education program (e.g., MSTM 5020, MSTM 4005) or it can be a course outside of the department. However, during this course, you should complete a paper with a focus on a particular issue or problem related to multiculturalism or diversity in mathematics education. Ideally, this paper can or will be one of the assignments for the course. (Please follow APA guidelines.)

Your paper will be assessed based on the following criteria:

  • A discussion of key issues and findings related to the particular topic or issue of interest with respect to multiculturalism or diversity in mathematics education, and an explanation of its importance – examples from practice or research illustrating the key issues, findings, and importance of the topic or issue are strongly encouraged
  • Reflection on the potential implications for teaching practice, policy, and/or research that account for recommendations from literature
  • Inclusion of sufficient (in both quality and quantity) references to literature in education and/or mathematics education

Assessment 8 数学毕业project代写

Departmental Project

As a cumulative assignment for your studies, you are to submit a final departmental project that synthesizes your learning from the program, and discusses some potential implications for your own instructional practice. Your project should be an approximately ten-page paper on some topic of interest generated during your course of study (which may draw on ideas from other papers completed as part of your program coursework). It should reflect not just learning from an individual course, but a synthesis of ideas and knowledge across the breadth of your studies. The paper should be clearly focused and included a description of the question(s) explored in the paper. The exposition should clearly convey your knowledge about the selected topic, including reference to specific literature that is relevant to your topic. (Please follow APA guidelines.)

Your project will be assessed based on the following criteria: 数学毕业project代写

  • A discussion of key issues and findings related to the particular topic or issue of interest, and an explanation of its importance in mathematics education – examples from practice or research illustrating the key issues, findings, and importance of the topic or issue are strongly encouraged
  • Reflection on the potential implications for teaching practice that account for recommendations from literature, including some specific suggestions for you own teaching (such as curriculum unit development, lesson plans, sets of problems, description of suggested programs, description of experience of using technology)
  • Inclusion of sufficient (in both quality and quantity) references to literature in mathematics education
