This will describe my experiences over the years in working with Chicago Public School teachers to improve
both their understanding of mathematics, and their ability to teach it. I will explain what I've found in
conducting classes for teachers and in visiting their schools. I will also offer some opinions on the role
mathematicians should play in improving mathematics instruction and what children need to master in order
to succeed in their studies of mathematics.
