Mathematical sciences (21) This project is developing a model course of study that integrates teachers' knowledge of mathematics, technology, pedagogy and student thinking. The central course materials consist of two suites of modules, one on Data Analysis and Probability, and a second focusing on Geometry that can function as key components within larger teacher preparation programs. The modules provide opportunities for prospective middle and secondary mathematics teachers to develop: 1) deeper conceptual understanding of school mathematics topics, 2) proficiency in using technology tools, 3) effective pedagogical techniques, and 4) abilities to analyze students' thinking when using technology tools to solve mathematical tasks. The intellectual merit of this project lies in its alignment with calls from leading professional bodies, e.g. the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences, that advocate for not just the blind use of technology in learning K-16 mathematics, but for an understanding of its appropriate and effective use to promote conceptual learning. Enhancing such understanding at the pre-service level is thus an important strategy. Because of their modular design, the materials exert a broad impact across different settings, for example: i) in a methods course focusing on the use of technology in the teaching of mathematics, ii) as a unit within a mathematics course, or iii) as part of a professional development for in-service teachers. Developing faculty expertise is also a key project activity and further increases the project's broader impacts by preparing faculty at a diverse set of institutions to implement the modules and form a national network of expert technology-using mathematics teacher educators.

数学科学(21)这个项目正在开发一门模范课程，将教师的数学知识、技术知识、教育学知识和学生思维结合在一起。核心课程材料包括两套模块，一套是关于数据分析和概率，另一套侧重于几何，它可以作为更大的教师培训计划的关键组成部分。这些单元为未来的中学和中学数学教师提供了发展的机会：1)加深对学校数学主题的概念性理解，2)熟练使用技术工具，3)有效的教学技巧，以及4)在使用技术工具解决数学任务时分析学生思维的能力。该项目的学术价值在于它符合主要专业机构的呼吁，如全国数学教师理事会和数学科学会议委员会，这些机构不仅主张在学习K-16数学时盲目使用技术，而且还主张理解技术的适当和有效使用，以促进概念学习。因此，在服务前一级加强这种了解是一项重要的战略。由于它们的模块化设计，这些材料在不同的环境中产生了广泛的影响，例如：i)在侧重于在数学教学中使用技术的方法课程中，ii)作为数学课程中的一个单元，或iii)作为在职教师专业发展的一部分。开发教师专业知识也是一项关键的项目活动，通过让不同机构的教师做好准备，实施这些模块，并形成一个使用专家技术的全国数学教师教育网络，进一步增加了该项目的更广泛影响。
