Mathematical Sciences (21)The Connecting Mathematics for Elementary Teachers (CMET) project is connecting prospective elementary teachers' learning of mathematics in mathematics content courses with how children understand and learn mathematics. The goals are to 1) enhance pre-service teachers' understanding of mathematics, 2) improve their teaching of mathematics, 3) improve prospective elementary teachers' understanding of how children learn and understand mathematics, 4) help them connect the mathematics they are learning with the mathematical concepts they will be teaching children, and 5) facilitate prospective elementary teachers understanding of the connection between the mathematics they will be teaching in elementary school to the mathematics and technological skills children learn in middle and high school. To achieve these goals, supplementary materials are being developed for one 3-credit hour mathematical content course for elementary teachers. An expanded supplement of teaching notes is being developed for the instructors. The materials explore how children learn and understand mathematics, the mathematics actually taught in the elementary school, and the important connections at the elementary level to mathematics and the technological skills children learn in middle and secondary school. The project is emphasizing mathematics from children's perspectives and how this is directly related to the mathematics they are learning and will be teaching children. The materials are being evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively for their effectiveness at a test site. This project provides future teachers in-depth knowledge of how the subject matter they are learning relates to their future teaching.

数学科学（21）小学教师数学连接（CMET）项目将未来的小学教师在数学内容课程中学习数学与儿童如何理解和学习数学联系起来。目标是：1）提高职前教师对数学的理解，2）改善他们的数学教学，3）提高未来的小学教师对儿童如何学习和理解数学的理解，4）帮助他们将正在学习的数学与他们将教授儿童的数学概念联系起来，5）促进未来的小学教师理解他们将在小学教授的数学与儿童在初中和高中学习的数学和技术技能之间的联系。为了实现这些目标，正在为小学教师编制一门3学分的数学内容课程的补充材料。目前正在为教员编写一份扩大的教学说明补编。这些材料探讨了儿童如何学习和理解数学，小学实际教授的数学，以及小学与数学的重要联系，以及儿童在初中和高中学习的技术技能。该项目从儿童的角度强调数学，以及这与他们正在学习和将要教孩子的数学直接相关。正在一个试验场对这些材料的效力进行定性和定量评价。这个项目为未来的教师提供了深入的知识，他们正在学习的主题如何与他们未来的教学有关。
