McCormick, Kelly – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2010
As part of the Writing Across the Curriculum movement, teachers are asked to integrate writing into their teaching of mathematics; however, this can be a difficult task given that most elementary school teachers have had little experience using writing as a tool to learn and communicate their understanding of mathematics. To give students in my…

Halat, Erdogan – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2008
The aim of this study was to find and compare the pre-service elementary school and secondary mathematic teachers' reasoning stages in geometry. There were a total of 281 pre-service teachers, 125 elementary school teachers and 156 secondary mathematics teachers, involved in the study. The researcher employed a multiple-choice geometry test. This…
