Examining Preservice Teachers’ Choices of Numerical Characteristics of Problems with Similar Surface Structures

• In Event: Mathematics Content, Processes, and Practices Brief Report Session: Preservice Teachers

Description for Program

I report findings from a study in which preservice teachers engaged in choosing and sequencing problems to pose in their lesson plans. We discuss implications for preparing teachers to recognize the role of numerical characteristics in eliciting multiple solution strategies.
