Discrete Mathematics for Prospective K-8 Teachers

数学科学(21)本项目针对K-8年级准教师缺乏介绍离散数学的教科书和课程的问题，以及如何利用这些教材和课程既帮助K-8准教师更好地理解数学，又帮助他们的学生达到国家和国家标准的数学。该项目为潜在的K-8教师开发了一本互动的离散数学教科书，通过让潜在的K-8教师接触以互动方式教授的大学级数学课程来改变他们的数学观，并为向未来的K-8教师教授数学的大学教员举办高质量的专业发展研讨会。该项目建立在之前NSF资助的K-8教师专业发展项目中开发的材料的基础上。

Mathematical Sciences (21) This project addresses the absence of textbooks and courses for prospective K-8 teachers that provide an introduction to discrete mathematics and how it can be used both to help prospective K-8 teachers achieve a better understanding of mathematics and to help their students achieve state and national standards in mathematics. The project develops an interactive discrete mathematics textbook for prospective K-8 teachers, changes prospective K-8 teachers' views of mathematics by exposing them to a college-level mathematics course which is taught interactively, and conducts high-quality professional development workshops for college faculty members who teach mathematics to prospective K-8 teachers. The project builds on the materials developed in a previous NSF-funded professional development project for K-8 teachers.
