Mathematics, Pedagogy, and Secondary Teacher Education sheds new light on what it means to integrate pedagogy in a teacher-education context. Whether new to the field or seasoned professionals, all secondary teachers are encouraged to view instructional issues in relation to their own experiences in learning mathematics.

Ideal for preservice and inservice programs, the books in this collection provide a foundation for developing a deep understanding of topics fundamental to learning school mathematics; help teachers develop expertise in the processes emphasized in the NCTM Standards: and offer activities that capture the rich interplay of inductive and deductive thinking in mathematics.

The collection includes:

Thinking About Being a Mathematics Teacher
Developing a Topic Across the Curriculum: Functions
Designing Teaching: The Pythagorean Theorem
Analyzing Subject Matter: Fundamental Ideas of Combinatorics
Modeling with Functions
Posing Mathematically
