Exploring Preservice Mathematics Teachers’ Understanding of Mathematical Modeling With Three Independent Variables

• In Event: Poster Session

Description for Program

I will present a task asking preservice teachers to develop a mathematical model involving three independent variables, and share their strategies and difficulties. Preservice teachers derived Ampere’s Law, relating magnetic field strength to current, wraps of wire, and solenoid length.
