Problem solving has long been a priority in mathematics education, and the first Common Core mathematical practice (SMP1) focuses on this priority through the language of "Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them." We present findings from a survey about how prospective elementary teachers' (PTs) make sense of potential…

Garner, Mary L.; Watson, Virginia; Rogers, Beth; Head, Catherine – School Science and Mathematics, 2017
Math teachers' circles are a form of professional development that is recommended by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences in their publication Mathematical Education of Teachers II (2012). However, little research has been published on how effective math teachers' circles are in advancing the mathematical knowledge of teachers and…

Eli, Jennifer A.; Mohr-Schroeder, Margaret J.; Lee, Carl W. – School Science and Mathematics, 2013
Effective competition in a rapidly growing global economy places demands on a society to produce individuals capable of higher-order critical thinking, creative problem solving, connection making, and innovation. We must look to our teacher education programs to help prospective middle grades teachers build the mathematical habits of mind that…

Evans, Brian R. – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
The purpose of this study was to understand the mathematical content knowledge new teachers have both before and after taking a mathematics methods course in the NYCTF program. Further, the purpose was to understand the attitudes toward mathematics and concepts of self-efficacy that Teaching Fellows had over the course of the semester. The sample…

Son, Ji-Won; Sinclair, Nathalie – School Science and Mathematics, 2010
Recognizing and responding to students' thinking is essential in teaching mathematics, especially when students provide incorrect solutions. This study examined, through a teaching scenario task, elementary preservice teachers' interpretations of and responses to a student's work on a task involving reflective symmetry. Findings revealed that a…

Prospective Elementary Teachers' Use of Mathematical Reasoning in Solving a Lever Mechanics Problem.
Peer reviewedBriscoe, Carol; Stout, David – School Science and Mathematics, 2001
Explores how prospective elementary teachers (n=106) enrolled in elementary science and mathematics methods courses used algebraic reasoning to construct and describe relationships among and between variables in the context of solving a problem. Describes specific weaknesses characterized by the teachers' solutions. (Contains 17 references.)…

Peer reviewedTimmerman, Maria A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2004
To meet the challenge to reform mathematics education, effective opportunities to learn are needed to promote prospective elementary school teachers' development of the knowledge base that supports teaching, for mathematical proficiency. This article describes three professional development interventions and their influence on prospective…
