MATH 116 - Geometry and Measurement for Prospective Elementary School Teachers

3 units
2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab
Prerequisite: MATH 60 and MATH 110 with a minimum grade of C in prerequisite or equivalent
Credit, degree applicable
Transfer CSU, UC*

In this course, designed for prospective elementary school teachers, students focus on the conceptual and procedural understanding of geometry and measurement. Students explore informal geometry, congruence, similarity, constructions, transformations, tessellations, and measurement involving both English and metric units in one, two, and three dimensions. The use of appropriate units in real-world geometric situations is emphasized throughout the course. Group activities, hands-on activities and use of computer software are integrated throughout the course.

Note: The maximum UC credit allowed for students completing MATH 110, MATH 111, MATH 115, and 116 is one course.
