Long Island Mathematics Education Masters Degree

The master’s program aims to extend the depth and breadth of mathematical skills previously learned on the undergraduate level. For example, the real analysis course explains why many of the concepts learned in Calculus hold true. There will also be a focus on connections to the mathematics taught in middle and high schools.

Particular attention will be paid to integrating technology with the teaching of mathematics in order to meet the current teaching standards. Students will also learn skills in self-analysis, assessment, and teaching a diverse population of students who possess varying cognitive skills and learning styles. In order to prepare students to teach in the modern classroom they will study important topics in current mathematics education (e.g. gender gap).

Students perform in depth exploration of current research in mathematics education. Using this knowledge, students then perform their own novel research into a chosen topic in the field of mathematics education. Students will learn how to produce publishable articles that meet professional standards and then compose one such article.
