Mathematical Sciences (21). This project is researching, adapting, and implementing reform-oriented middle and high school curriculum materials into the mathematics and methods coursework of preservice secondary teachers. Curriculum tasks are selected and adapted to maximize their potential to extend preservice secondary teachers' understandings of mathematics, teaching, and curriculum. Educational research and recent reform recommendations for the school curriculum inform the project's goals and design activities. As curriculum materials are adapted and used in mathematics and methods courses, information about preservice teachers' learning and perspectives guide ongoing implementation and course design. A community of faculty and graduate students in mathematics and mathematics education is being developed through project activities.The intellectual merit of this project stems from its integration of research and education. The project incorporates research knowledge into the design of courses for future teachers, and in turn develops further research knowledge via the intensive examination of innovative course designs.The broader impacts of the project lie in its potential to advance knowledge of mathematics teacher education and innovative strategies for improving the preparation of mathematics teachers. Several components of the project enhance the potential for broad dissemination and use of project results at other institutions. These components include: the evaluation plan, which assesses preservice teachers' learning, and instructors' experiences teaching; presentations and publications; and internal and external piloting of materials. Final products include documentation, for use by mathematicians and teacher educators, of specific strategies for implementing curriculum materials in courses for preservice mathematics teachers.

数学科学（21）。本项目旨在研究、调整并实施以改革为导向的初高中课程教材，将其应用于职前中学教师的数学与方法课程。课程任务的选择和调整是为了最大限度地发挥其潜力，扩展职前中学教师对数学、教学和课程的理解。教育研究和最近对学校课程的改革建议为项目的目标和设计活动提供了信息。随着课程材料在数学和方法课程中被改编和使用，关于职前教师学习和观点的信息指导了正在进行的实施和课程设计。一个由数学和数学教育的教师和研究生组成的社区正在通过项目活动得到发展。这个项目的智力价值源于它将研究与教育相结合。该项目将研究知识融入未来教师的课程设计中，并通过对创新课程设计的深入考察，进一步发展研究知识。该项目更广泛的影响在于它有可能推进数学教师教育知识和改进数学教师准备的创新策略。该项目的若干组成部分提高了在其他机构广泛传播和使用项目成果的潜力。这些组成部分包括：评估计划，评估职前教师的学习和教师的经验教学；演讲和出版物；以及内部和外部引航材料。最终产品包括文档，供数学家和教师教育者使用，这些文档是在职前数学教师课程中实施课程材料的具体策略。
