The Math Education courses were updated after the UNM College of Education (COE) reduced the math requirements for elementary education majors from 9 credit hours to 6 credit hours. Students who still need 9 credit hours should now take MATH 1118, MATH 2118, and MATH 2115.
This course offers an in-depth look rational numbers, arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), and basic geometric concepts. Problem solving is emphasized throughout.
