Mathematics Concentration
Mathematics as a discipline is structured around conceptual categories of numbers and quantity, algebra, functions, modeling, geometry and probability and statistics. Knowledge in this area is unified through context, coherence, and tasks that develop mathematical “habits of mind.” Courses in this concentration are structured for higher mathematics practices and content to support college and career pathways.
This concentration is aligned to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requirements for a Supplementary Authorization in Mathematics that can be added to your future credential. See a concentration advisor for more information.
