Ninety-seven education students majoring or minoring in mathematics had their math homework examined in a Number Theory or Abstract Algebra course. Each student's homework was observed for the purpose of identifying common errors and misconceptions when writing mathematical proofs. The results showed that students collectively made four…

Fuentes, Sarah Quebec – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2011
The role of a teacher is different from that in traditional mathematics instruction when the implementation of a lesson is based on students' ideas. The author's experience teaching the same lesson (of the latter format) to two different classes of pre-service teachers in an elementary mathematics methods course is described. Since whole-class…

Cunningham, Robert F.; Roberts, Allison – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2010
Twenty-three female elementary pre-service teachers were assessed on their ability to answer questions involving geometry concepts. Despite being given the definitions of the altitude of a triangle and the diagonal of a polygon on the pretest, limited understanding of these concepts was evident. A treatment using both graphic organizer and concept…

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…

Burns, Barbara A. – Issues in the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of School Teachers, 2010
The history of mathematics is an important component in the learning of mathematics. This study examines how pre-service teachers view the role of history of mathematics in the high school curriculum. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Results showed significant changes in beliefs about how the history of mathematics should be…

Many teacher educators model constructivist pedagogy to preservice teachers in the mathematics classes they take. Preservice teachers however, are not necessarily comfortable being a part of such a class. The following qualitative case study examined the expectations and reactions of a group of preservice teachers who were taking their final…
