Teachers Share Their Mathematics Backgrounds: Telling It Like It Was.

Van Voorhis, Judith L; Anglin, Jacqueline M.

School Science and Mathematics, v94 n8 p407-12 Dec 1994

Surveys of elementary, secondary, and college mathematics experiences of (n=45) elementary mathematics teachers showed that sharing mathematics knowledge in elementary school, enthusiastic teachers in high school, parental support, and practical uses of mathematics were positive influences. Rote drill, seatwork, and ability groupings were negative influences. (Author/MKR)
