Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Both Early Childhood / Elementary and Elementary / Middle majors take this course and the content addresses both of these levels. To help distinguish from split courses such as: MTH 394 Introduction to Geometry for Elementary Teachers (3) only Early Childhood / Elementary majors take this course. MTH 494/594 Geometry for Middle School Teachers (3) only Elementary / Middle majors take this course. |

Students/Program affected: Early Childhood / Elementary and Elementary / Middle education majors and Mathematics Education minors |
