MIDDLE MATH: A Project to Improve the Undergraduate Mathematics Preparation of Middle Grades Teachers

《MIDDLE MATH》是一项旨在提高初中教师本科数学准备水平的项目。该项目的重点是代数/数字课程的开发，以及微积分预科课程的开发，该课程是代数课程与后来的微积分课程之间的桥梁。课程开发将以NCTM、MAA和数学教育研究人员的经验和开创性建议为基础。课程开发模式是建立在对材料及其对学生学习影响的动态研究循环的基础上的。项目团队包括数学家和数学教育家。这些项目得益于学校对提高教师培训质量的坚定承诺，以及一个研究视频实验室，该实验室利用新的课程材料和教学方法促进教学研究。

MIDDLE MATH is a project to improve the undergraduate mathematics preparation of middle grades teachers. The project is focusing on the development of an algebra/number class, and a precalculus course that forms a bridge from the algebra class to the later calculus sequence. The curriculum development will be based on experience and seminal recommendations by the NCTM, MAA, and mathematics education researchers. The model for course development is grounded in a dynamic cycle of research on the materials and their affect on student learning. The project team includes mathematicians and mathematics educators. The projects benefits from the strong institutional commitment to improve the quality of teacher preparation , and a research video laboratory that facilitates study of teaching and learning with new course materials and methods of instruction.
