C880 Algebra for Secondary Mathematics Teaching (EDUC 5101, 2 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the algebra methods course of both M.A. Mathematics Education tracks: term 2 of the Secondary track and term 3 of the Middle Grades track, for licensed teachers. Algebra as an extension of number, operation, and quantity, equivalence in algebraic structures, covariation between quantities, connections across representations, and the historical development of content, scored as instructional practice rather than problem-solving. The same course name also exists as D898 on the bachelor's path and D904 on the M.A.T. track. Coursework Ninja completes C880 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, C880 explores important conceptual underpinnings, common misconceptions and students' ways of thinking, appropriate use of technology, and instructional practices to support and assess the learning of algebra. The course frames algebra as an extension of number, operation, and quantity; various ideas of equivalence as it pertains to algebraic structures; patterns of change as covariation between quantities; connections between representations such as tables, graphs, equations, geometric models, and context; and the historical development of content and perspectives from diverse cultures, with deeper understanding of rational numbers, ratios and proportions, meaning and use of variables, and functions as the content spine.
Both M.A. Mathematics Education tables carry C880: term 2 of the Secondary track and term 3 of the Middle Grades track. The naming is a three-way trap: the bachelor's path carries the identical course name as D898 (EDUC 3289, 3 CUs, term 6 of the mathematics education bachelor's), and the M.A.T. licensure track carries it as D904 (EDUC 6075, 2 CUs, term 3). Three courses share one name at three levels; the code on your program plan decides which one you owe. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report performance assessment tasks (PAs) for the algebra teaching-methods course, consistent with the written-task pattern of the methods courses on every WGU education path. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment C880 carries.
The description's opening move: conceptual underpinnings of algebra as an extension of number, operation, and quantity. The scored work explains why a procedure works and where it breaks, not just that it does, which flips the habit of a lifetime of problem sets.
Common misconceptions and students' ways of thinking are named in the description itself. Tasks score whether you can predict the specific error, the classic ones are variables-as-labels, subtraction-of-terms collapse, and slope-as-addition, and design instruction that addresses it.
The three framing ideas: equivalence in algebraic structures, patterns of change as covariation between quantities, and connections between representations including tables, graphs, equations, geometric models, and context. Rubrics read these as lenses applied to a lesson, not vocabulary defined.
Appropriate use of technology and the historical development of content with perspectives from diverse cultures both appear in the description. The strongest submissions put a tool choice and a historical note inside the lesson itself rather than bolting them on as closing paragraphs.
C880 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in either M.A. Mathematics Education track it folds into the flat master's package at $3,500, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
C880 is the course where strong algebra teachers score badly, because it grades pedagogy writing, not algebra skill. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Algebra for Secondary Mathematics Teaching (EDUC 5101, 2 CUs) explores conceptual underpinnings, common misconceptions and students' ways of thinking, appropriate use of technology, and instructional practices to support and assess the learning of algebra: algebra as an extension of number, operation, and quantity, ideas of equivalence in algebraic structures, patterns of change as covariation, connections between representations, and the historical development of content with perspectives from diverse cultures.
Per the current catalog, 2 tables: term 2 of the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (Secondary) and term 3 of the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (Middle Grades), both tracks for licensed teachers.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report performance assessment tasks (PAs) for the algebra methods course, consistent with the written-task pattern of WGU teaching-methods courses. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
All three share the exact name Algebra for Secondary Mathematics Teaching, but they are different courses at different levels. D898 (EDUC 3289, 3 CUs) sits in term 6 of the bachelor's mathematics education path, D904 (EDUC 6075, 2 CUs) sits in term 3 of the M.A.T. licensure track, and C880 (EDUC 5101, 2 CUs) sits in the two licensed-teacher M.A. tracks. The code on your program plan decides which one you owe.
Per the September 2026 catalog, the Secondary track continues with Geometry for Secondary Mathematics Teaching (C882), Statistics and Probability for Secondary Mathematics Teaching (C884), Mathematics History and Technology, and the C612 content-knowledge course in term 3, then the calculus tail and the Teacher Performance Assessment. The Middle Grades track continues into its research sequence and the 5-9 Teacher Performance Assessment. We sequence whichever remains when you hand over the plan.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If this course is one row on a longer remaining master's list, the master's package is $3,500 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every academic course on the plan.
