Bachelor in Elementary Mathematics Teaching

Elementary Mathematics Teaching trains students to teach mathematics to primary and middle school students, combining mathematical content knowledge with pedagogical training specific to how children learn mathematical concepts. The curriculum typically covers arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and introductory statistics and probability at a level appropriate for teaching, alongside education coursework in child development, curriculum design, teaching methods, and assessment. Students learn to break down mathematical ideas into teachable steps, design activities and materials that build number sense and problem-solving skills, and identify and address common misconceptions that young learners develop. Supervised teaching practice in actual classrooms is a standard component, giving future teachers direct experience with lesson planning, classroom management, and evaluating student progress. Graduates typically work as mathematics teachers in elementary and middle schools, and the training also supports roles in mathematics curriculum development and educational materials design. This bachelor's program is taught in English over 4 years at Boğaziçi University, located in İstanbul, Turkey. English-medium delivery gives future teachers strong command of mathematical and pedagogical terminology as used in international education research and resources. Boğaziçi University is a leading public university in İstanbul, and its education faculty offers this program alongside strong mathematics and science departments, giving students a well-supported environment for both content mastery and teacher training. Across the four years, students generally progress from foundational mathematics and educational theory courses toward specialized methods coursework and supervised classroom teaching practice, graduating prepared to teach mathematics at the elementary level.
