What level of mathematical knowledge is required by candidates to pass the assessment center exercises?
The EA/Mathematics certificate is intended for teachers of students 11-15 and the assessment center is designed to assess knowledge that is relevant for teaching across this age range. All prompts were developed by current EA/Mathematics teachers. The EA/Mathematics assessment center examines the teacher’s understanding of mathematics content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge appropriate for teachers of Early Adolescence Mathematics. As described in the EA/Mathematics Standards, teachers are expected to know and know how to teach: number and operations; algebra and functions, geometry and measurement, and statistics and data analysis. In addition, teachers are expected to know and know how to teach introductory concepts that are important to the study of calculus and discrete mathematics, such as minima, maxima, limits, permutations and combinations.
