BA in Mathematics - Education in Tucson United States | University of Arizona

This program equips students aiming to become middle or high school math teachers. Mathematics serves as a foundational element in education. Those pursuing a Bachelor of Science or Arts in Mathematics with an Education focus take essential math classes alongside teaching methods, preparing them for secondary education careers. Graduates qualify for Arizona Department of Education certification to teach grades 6-12 mathematics and may pursue credentials in other states. Students develop specialized knowledge through inquiry-based learning while acquiring practical teaching experience in algebra, geometry, and calculus via student teaching positions at affiliated schools.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Utilize computational techniques, Mathematics students must demonstrate the ability to employ computational approaches and mathematical principles to examine scientific challenges
Implement mathematical frameworks, Students should critically assess and expand upon relevant mathematical models found in contemporary scientific research.
Construct sound proofs, Learners must determine suitable proof techniques and consistently produce accurate proofs using various strategies when appropriate.
Establish precise definitions, Mathematical precision is vital, and students must master formulating exact definitions of mathematical terms.
Clearly convey findings, Mathematics students need to effectively present their results to general audiences through both written and oral communication.
Assess argument validity, Mathematical reasoning demands strict logic. We expect mathematics students to discern valid arguments while detecting logical inconsistencies and weaknesses.
