• In Event: Preparando Futurxs Maestrxs: Teaching Mathematics and Supporting Bilingualism in the Elementary Classroom

Abstract

In this paper we document the progression of one Spanish-English Elementary Bilingual Pre-Service Teacher (BPST) who learned to extend and support children’s mathematical thinking (CMT) in a Spanish-English bilingual setting. The work focuses on the BPST-student interaction, particularly on how this BPST elicited the bilingual student’s mathematical ideas.
