Faulkner, Valerie N.; Cain, Chris R. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2013
Student performance in mathematics has been linked to the mathematical knowledge of the teacher. Based on this finding, a 5-day professional development module was created to improve teachers' mathematical knowledge and their understanding of number sense. We found no difference prior to the professional development in mathematical content…

Watson, Jane M.; Chick, Helen L. – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 1997
Primary teachers should understand the nature of the real-number system and the relationships among its subsets. Presents results of a study in which preservice primary teachers (n=58) and first- and second-year mathematics students (n=47) completed a survey on the real-number system. Concludes that the second-year students were the best…
