Certificate in Mathematical Sciences for Education

The Certificate in the Mathematical Sciences for Education is intended to provide holders of a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) degree with a broad background in mathematics statistics and computing science enabling them to teach high school mathematics courses effectively. Teachers who complete this program will have a deep understanding of the mathematics that they teach and a familiarity with the various contexts in which their own university-bound students will use that mathematics. A teaching methods course is an integral part of this program.

To gain entry to this program students must have a B.Ed. (or equivalent). They must also have at least Grade 12 precalculus mathematics (or equivalent) before starting Fundamental Calculus I (MATH 1208). (Among possible equivalents are Fundamental Mathematics (MATH 1190) and some non-credit courses offered at Saint Marys.)
