Counting on Us: Stretching Our Pedagogical Boundaries in Mathematics Teacher Education

Mon, April 16, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, West Room 221

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session brings together a connected set of papers that meld mathematics teacher education practices from throughout the US and beyond our nation’s geographic boundaries. Exploration of both teachers’ mathematics content knowledge and their use of compelling math pedagogies are included in the group of papers. The session includes contemporary math pedagogy work and explores the importance of helping teachers to provide effective instruction with their students that are linked to addressing the math achievement gaps. Linking theory to practice is of focus in this session. The session has a primary tenet of beginning teachers’ emergent pedagogical knowledge in mathematics instruction.
