Stacey, Kaye; Helme, Sue; Steinle, Vicki; Baturo, Annette; Irwin, Kathryn; Bana, Jack
Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, v4 n3 p205-25 2001
Investigates preservice elementary school teachers' content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of decimal numeration. Indicates that most preservice teachers were aware of longer-is-larger misconceptions in students but had little awareness of shorter-is-larger misconceptions. Emphasizes content knowledge that integrates different aspects of number knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge that includes a thorough understanding of common difficulties. (Contains 21 references.) (Author/ASK)
