Abstract Details

2016, Master of Mathematical Sciences, Ohio State University, Mathematical Sciences.
Group theory is a mathematical topic that is usually reserved for upper-level undergraduate courses. In this thesis, we will explicitly show the connection between group theory and fundamental mathematics taught in grade school, and present activities designed for pre-k through 3rd, 4th through 9th, and 7th through 12th grade levels with culminating activities for college level students. Our annotated activities are explicitly connected to standards from the common core, they aim to provide hands-on learning environments for students, and demonstrate that topics from higher level courses have deep connections to fundamental mathematics.
