Abstract: |
In 2000, we began teaching together as part of an NSF grant designed to strengthen the preparation of future
elementary school teachers. As a result of the grant, all students in elementary education at Nebraska
participate in The Mathematics Semester, a block of courses that integrates mathematics instruction with
pedagogical instruction and field experiences. We will discuss our experiences in building a partnership
between education faculty, mathematics faculty and mathematics teachers as well as our efforts to deepen our
students' understanding of mathematics while connecting the mathematics they study to the tasks faced by an
elementary school teacher. |
