The NCTM states: “A major goal of mathematics is to help children develop the belief that they have the power to do mathematics. This autonomy develops and grows as children gain confidence and learn that mathematics makes sense, is logical, and is enjoyable.” Knowing mathematics involves doing mathematics.

The goal of these courses is to provide opportunities for preservice teachers to develop knowledge, skills, and dispositions that will enable them to pass along an enjoyment and confidence in mathematics to their elementary students.
