In this project, we investigate how teachers develop the skills and knowledge to integrate makerspace technologies into mathematics lessons. Makerspaces are physical spaces that encourage creative design that often include emerging technologies such as 3D fabrication, coding, and robotics, and are being increasingly used to enhance mathematics instruction. Research suggests that for teachers to integrate any new technology into instruction, they must develop a specialized technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), but little is known about how teachers develop TPACK for makerspace technology. We present emerging findings investigating how practicing mathematics teachers developed TPACK for makerspaces during a graduate technology course. Results suggest that despite similar experiences in the course, teachers varied significantly in their development of TPACK and integration of technology.
