A Program for Preparing Middle School Mathematics Teachers

该项目将制定一个全面的计划， 在城市环境中的学校数学教师。 教学 九门课程（8个内容和1种方法）的教材， 设计的一个中学数学课程将开发。 这些将在教学模式，强调积极 探索，概念发展，视觉推理，和综合 使用计算器和计算机作为主要的计算工具。 为每门课程编写的材料包括课程指南 包括专题评论、学生作业、阅读清单和 参考书目和课堂活动。 这些活动将用于实地 经验和学生教学。 这些材料将被生产 使用波特兰州立大学数学学习中心的桌面出版设备 中心，并将适合广泛分布或商业 出版物 这些材料将被仔细评估， 制定和执行。 该项目的工作人员包括数学教育工作者、研究人员、 数学家和课堂教师。

This project will develop a comprehensive program for preparing middle school mathematics teachers in an urban setting. Instructional materials for nine courses (8 content and 1 method) specifically designed for a middle school mathematics program will be developed. These will be presented in an instructional mode that stresses active exploration, concept development, visual reasoning, and the integrated use of calculators and computers as the dominant computational tools. The materials to be developed for each course include a Course Guide with topical commentary, student assignments, reading lists, and a bibliography and Class Activities. The activities will be used in field experiences and in student teaching. The materials will be produced with the desktop publishing facilities of Portland State's Math Learning Center and will be suitable for widespread distribution or commercial publication. The materials will be evaluated carefully during development and implementation. The project staff includes mathematics educators, research mathematicians, and classroom teachers.
