Sharp, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA Maria
Timmerman, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA Graphing calculators are being used primarily in mathematics courses, but the latest handheld devices have the potential to be used in all subject areas. Many predict that such devices will become the tools most students will use in the future. This session will demonstrate a variety of handheld devices (with different platforms) equipped with graphing calculator, word processing, spreadsheet, printing, browsing, and other educational software. This hands-on session will focus primarily on secondary mathematics. |

Studying
Teacher Learning from Cases and Other Practice-Based Materials
Margaret
S. Smith, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA Edward
A. Silver, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI For the past several years we have been developing practice-based materials for the education of mathematics teachers under the auspices of the NSF-funded COMET (Cases of Mathematics Instruction to Enhance Teaching) Project. Recently, we have begun to use these materials in teacher education settings and to systematically study their implementation and impact. Drawing on data collected from a course on proportionality in which various kinds of practice-based materials were interwoven, we will engage participants in analyzing data that focuses on both the processes of course enactment (e.g. videotape of a class session, work completed by teachers) and the pre- and post-knowledge of course participants. The goal of the session is to use the specific example from the proportionality course to discuss what teachers might learn from cases and other practice-based materials, how they might learn it, and what constitutes evidence of learning. |

selection of curricula for purposes of standards-based instruction, and
high-stakes testing success. ---------------------------------------------------------- Integrating Measurement Across the Curriculum: A
Professional Development Effort Session
describes professional development that uses measurement to stimulate
mathematical and pedagogical growth for middle grades mathematics teachers.
Building off of NAEP and TIMSS studies and PSSM recommendations, this effort

Using Pre-Service Teachers’ Conceptions of Mathematics in
Curriculum Design Mathematics
education faculty members at the University of Michigan-Dearborn are drawing
upon inquiry-based K-8 curricula to redesign mathematics content courses for
future elementary teachers. In this session, we will discuss how to use what
we are learning about pre-service teachers’ mathematical knowledge as a means
for enhancing pre-service teachers’ learning. ---------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Service Elementary Teachers’ Algebraic &
Proportional Reasoning in a Standards-Based Content This
session will report on the findings of pre-service teachers’ development of
their algebraic and proportional reasoning in a Standards-based content course. Discussion will follow
surrounding how classroom videotapes of students can be used to inform the
teaching of future teachers. ---------------------------------------------------------- Issues in Teaching a Standards-Based Geometry Course
Collaboratively: Report from a Mathematician and a Mathematics Educator The
session will focus on issues around the collaboration between a mathematician
and a mathematics educator, using Standards-based
K-8 materials, in teaching a geometry course for elementary teachers.
Preliminary data from a longitudinal study of geometric reasoning and spatial

A Framework for the Preparation of Secondary Mathematics
Teachers How
can pre-service teachers recognize the effect of their beliefs on their
teaching? How can mathematics become integral in learning to teach? Resources
such as How People Learn, Adding It Up, and Principles and Standards can provide a structure for considering
what is important in the transition from student to teacher. |
