Learning Mathematics for Teaching: From a Teachers' Seminar to the Classroom.

Schifter, Deborah

Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, v1 n1 p55-87 1998

Explores two avenues for K-6 teachers' mathematical development: (1) engagement in inquiry into mathematics itself; and (2) investigation of children's mathematical thinking. Illustrates how the need for these two kinds of investigations arises in classroom situations and how they can be pursued in a professional development setting. Contains 39 references. (Author/ASK)
