Program Specialization 1. Manifest understanding in the nature and philosophy of mathematics and how students
Outcomes learn mathematics.
2. Demonstrate expertise in the content and language in mathematics, show connections
between mathematical concepts, and relate these to other curricular areas.
3. Use appropriate principles, strategies, techniques, and technology to appreciate
mathematics as a discipline and as opportunity for creative work, for discovery, and for
gaining insights of the world.
Course Description This course deals with the application of current principles, methods, philosophical
foundations, and strategies of teaching Mathematics that are learner-centered and research-
based. This is anchored on the Conceptual Framework of Math K to 12 Education. It aims to
equip students with the knowledge and skills on how to design appropriate learning
activities, and create ICT-driven instructional materials that they can utilize for lesson
planning and microteaching.

Course Learning At the end of the course, the pre-service teachers should be able to:
Outcomes A. Display deeper knowledge and understanding on the principles and strategies in teaching
mathematics using various teaching methods (e.g. inquiry method, integrative method, etc.)
through demonstration teaching;
B. Display competence in designing, constructing, implementing and managing classroom
structures and different teaching strategies to suit learners’ needs and the available physical
learning environment;
C. Demonstrate pedagogical content and technological knowledge in Math to implement
teaching strategies that develop 21st century skills and promote literacy and numeracy,
using varied and appropriate Mathematical tools and software; and
D. Manifest positive attitude towards learning by engaging in every exploratory and
expository activities in Math classes.
