A Mathematics Course for Prospective Elementary School Teachers
Jonker, Leo
PRIMUS, v18 n4 p325-336 Jul 2008
It is possible to get prospective elementary school teachers to learn interesting mathematics well by not only requiring that they learn the material in a mathematics course but also requiring that they teach it as part of an enrichment program at the middle school level. This article discusses the reasons for such a course, and describes a university mathematics course that combines these elements.
