Hardison, Hamilton L.; Lee, Hwa Young; Guajardo, Lino; Bui, Mai T. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Given the centrality of angle in mathematics curricula and scarcity of research in this area, we investigated 64 PTs' assimilatory domains of angularity by analyzing the angles they indicated when presented with four segments mutually sharing an endpoint. In both interview and written settings, we found PTs were more likely to recognize convex…

Lai, Yvonne; Lischka, Alyson E.; Strayer, Jeremy F. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
One promising approach for connecting undergraduate content coursework to secondary teaching is using teacher-created representations of practice. Using these representations effectively requires seeing teachers' use of mathematical knowledge in and for teaching (MKT). We argue that Rowland's (2013) Knowledge Quartet for MKT, in particular, the…

Ion, Michael; Herbst, Patricio; Margolis, Claudine; Milewski, Amanda; Ko, Inah – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
This paper reports on an ongoing project aimed at developing an inter-institutional system of professional support for the improvement of the Geometry for Teachers (GeT) courses that mathematics departments teach to preservice secondary teachers. In alignment with the literature on improvement science (see Bryk et al., 2015; Lewis, 2015), it is…

Cox, Dana C.; Lo, Jane-Jane – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
As a component of a course on geometry for preservice elementary teachers (PSTs), we derive area formulas for a variety of polygons including triangles, quadrilaterals, and both regular and irregular shapes whose areas can be measured empirically using decomposition. Decomposing a circle to justify why its area can be measured using the standard…

Callahan, Kadian M.; Hillen, Amy F. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2012
We present findings from a study of prospective middle school teachers' reasoning as they transitioned from thinking arithmetically to thinking algebraically about even and odd numbers. Teachers were asked to make sense of and use two representations of even and odd numbers to model them and to make connections between the representations.…

Cross, Stephanie Behm; Lloyd, Gwendolyn M. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
Over the course of two years, data was collected focused on preservice elementary teachers' engagement with mathematics textbooks and curriculum materials in two contexts: (1) a university mathematics education course, and (2) student teaching. To frame the results and suggest opportunities for learning, Feiman-Nemser and Buchmann's (1985)…
