Harper, Frances; Najarro, Eduardo; Bartell, Tonya G.; Drake, Corey – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2015
This project examines how prospective elementary teachers (PSTs) framed the idea of drawing on multiple mathematical knowledge bases (MMKB)--children's mathematical thinking and funds of knowledge--for diverse learners, in the context of adapting curriculum. We analyzed 47 written reflections of PSTs' analyses of an existing mathematics…

Tyminski, Andrew M.; Land, Tonia J.; Drake, Corey; Zambak, V. Serbay – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
A critical practice in teaching elementary mathematics is posing problems that build on children's mathematical thinking. As such, teacher educators must provide pre-service teachers (PSTs) with a set of learning experiences to support PSTs in this practice. In this study, we present our analyses of PSTs' responses to a sequence of three methods…

Land, Tonia; Drake, Corey – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
The overall purpose of this study is to develop a measure of elementary mathematics teachers' curricular knowledge (Shulman, 1986) and curriculum use practices. In this paper, we present the first step in this larger effort--the piloting of one set of questions that document pre-service teachers' (PSTs') knowledge and practices for reading,…
