A sequence of three content courses comprise the mathematics preparation for elementary teachers at U. of
Delaware. Faculty and doctoral students serve as instructors for multiple sections of the courses each semester.
For seven years, we have been studying and refining the content of the courses with the goal of increasing the
likelihood that graduates will use what they learn to improve their own teaching of mathematics. We will
describe and illustrate (with sample lessons, activities, problems, etc.) a few principles we have developed for
guiding decisions about the content and pedagogy of mathematics courses for pre-service elementary teachers.

Note: Due to a technical malfunction, approximately half of the presentation was not recorded (about 21:46 minutes into the presentation). Please go to the entire presentation in the form of annotated Power Point slides at the University of Delaware.
