Paperback / softback
Description
There are many questions about the mathematical preparation teachers need.
Recent recommendations from a variety of sources state that reforming teacher preparation in postsecondary institutions is central in providing quality mathematics education to all students.
The Mathematics Teacher Preparation Content Workshop examined this problem by considering two central questions:What is the mathematical knowledge teachers need to know in order to teach well?How can teachers develop the mathematical knowledge they need to teach well?The Workshop activities focused on using actual acts of teaching such as examining student work, designing tasks, or posing questions, as a medium for teacher learning.
The Workshop proceedings, Knowing and Learning Mathematics for Teaching, is a collection of the papers presented, the activities, and plenary sessions that took place.
