Per WGU's published description, Algebra for Secondary Mathematics Teaching offers an in-depth exploration of advanced algebraic concepts and instructional methodologies tailored for secondary education. The course emphasizes task-based learning, enabling participants to engage deeply with algebra as an extension of number theory, operations, and abstract reasoning. Students explore key algebraic ideas including equivalence, patterns of change through covariation, and the integration of multiple representations such as tables, graphs, equations, and geometric models. The course also examines the historical evolution of algebra and incorporates diverse cultural perspectives. Core topics include variables and functions, including exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, rational, and quadratic functions, and their applications.
One catalog table carries D904: term 3 of the Master of Arts in Teaching, Mathematics Education (Secondary), beside D808, D902, and D903. The name is a three-way trap. The bachelor's mathematics education path carries the identical course name as D898 (EDUC 3289, 3 CUs), and the licensed-teacher M.A. tracks carry it as C880 (EDUC 5101, 2 CUs). Three courses, one name; the code on your program plan decides which one you owe. Live classroom hours in later terms stay with you. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
