Title: Pedagogical mathematical practices in secondary teachers' mathematical preparation
Abstract: Developing teachers through their mathematical coursework is an important aim of teacher education. Yet many prospective secondary teachers do not find their university mathematics coursework to be professionally relevant. This talk discusses the potential role of particular kinds of mathematical practices - i.e., pedagogical mathematical practices - in efforts to improve teacher preparation experiences. I report on a study with secondary teachers that identifies four such practices that might be incorporated into university mathematics coursework.
