Courses for Future K-8 Teachers


Abstract

This presentation will include:

(a) a brief overview of national recommendations for mathematics content
courses for future teachers;

(b) results of a pretest/posttest study of future teachers' mathematical
knowledge; and

(c) a discussion of a course that develops a deeper understanding of the
mathematics that these students will soon teach.


This talk will be interesting to parents, educators, and others interested
in mathematics education in elementary and middle school.
