The primary objective of the Master of Arts degree, Teaching Middle Grades Mathematics is to increase the mathematical knowledge and related pedagogical skills of New Jersey middle grades mathematics teachers. The fully online program is designed for teachers with New Jersey teaching certificates in disciplines other than mathematics and closely related fields who are teaching mathematics in the middle grades or preparing for such an assignment. The program of study provides teachers with a broad understanding of the fundamental principles underlying school mathematics while making connections to the mathematics they will teach and at the same time preparing them to be leaders in their schools, districts, and perhaps, at the state and regional level. The Common Core State Standards Mathematics (CCSSM) has been incorporated into our whole program.
