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…

Tyminski, Andrew M.; Land, Tonia J.; Drake, Cory – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
In this article the authors describe how they engaged pre-service teachers (PSTs) in a comparison activity of two Standards-based lessons. The article presents PSTs' perceptions of the affordances and constraints within each lesson, interpret these results and present implications for further research. Because "Standards"-based…
