| Abstract: | This paper introduces lessons designed to incorporate applications to teaching high school mathematics in an undergraduate Discrete Mathematics course. Because many prospective high school teachers do not take courses that are specifically designed for teachers, providing materials aimed at teacher preparation that can be easily integrated into courses that serve a general mathematics major is one strategy for addressing mathematics teacher preparation. We developed lessons using four guiding features: choosing appropriate content; making school mathematics connections; incorporating active learning; and providing robust lesson notes. Our interview-based findings document how the lessons were used by instructors and analyze the mathematical ideas and understandings that arose from the use of the lessons at two different sites. |
