What Will You Learn in Our Mathematics Education Degree?
Liberty’s B.Ed. in Mathematics Education is broken down into 4 major components: education courses, practicum and gate courses, math courses, and student teaching. Your education courses explore the major aspects any teacher has to learn, such as evaluating student learning, creating curriculums, and determining behavioral and individual differences between students.
In your mathematics courses, you will explore topics ranging from calculus and analytic geometry to programming and discrete mathematics. You can also choose between several of your math courses to better tailor your degree to your teaching goals.
Lastly, your practicum and student teaching courses provide an opportunity to put your knowledge to the test. You’ll work in the classroom alongside a licensed teacher to see how the principles you’ve learned apply in the real world.
