Elementary Mathematics through Science Technology and Engineering

This module provides instructional strategies that support elementary school teachers in implementing STEM contexts across the curriculum in their classrooms and increases their understanding of the STEM disciplines. Participants will become familiar with the connections between engineering, science, and technology as contexts in which to teach high school mathematics. Problem-solving activities with STEM contexts that have mathematics as the underlying structure are presented. Participants look at current mathematics, engineering and science standards for opportunities to tie STEM context activities into their curriculum. They analyze student work from these activities and learn where to find resources to bring STEM contexts into their classrooms.
