Course Goal / Objective
To examine the relationship of mathematical concepts with each other, with other lessons and with daily life, and to discuss current methods necessary for students to understand these relationships.
Course Content
Within the scope of the course, current instructional methods for transferring abstract mathematical models into real-world contexts are discussed; additionally, technology-enhanced strategies (focusing on GeoGebra and Tinkercad) and pedagogical approaches designed to enable students to comprehend these interrelationships are explored.
Course Precondition
There are no prerequisites.
