Per WGU's published description, C882 explores important conceptual underpinnings, common student misconceptions and ways of thinking, appropriate use of technology, and instructional practices to support and assess the learning of geometry. The content list is broad by design: constructions and transformations, congruence and similarity, analytic geometry, solid geometry, conics, trigonometry, and the historical development of content, with the catalog stating Calculus I as the prerequisite. Every topic is framed twice, once as mathematics and once as a teaching decision, and the rubric scores the second framing.
One catalog table carries C882: term 3 of the Master of Arts in Mathematics Education (Secondary), the track for licensed teachers, where it shares the term with C884 Statistics and Probability for Secondary Mathematics Teaching, C612 Mathematics: Content Knowledge, C878 Mathematical Modeling and Applications, and Mathematics History and Technology. The name is the trap: the bachelor's path carries the exact same course as D895 (EDUC 3288, 3 CUs) and the M.A.T. licensure track as D903 (EDUC 6074, 2 CUs). Three codes, one name; 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.
