Abstract

In our service-learning program teacher-training candidates bridge the gap between expectations and realities of teaching in the K-8 classroom. In the mathematics training segment of this program candidates become aware of the creative part of mathematics as well as the importance of the standards that accentuate mathematics instruction in the State of California. Included in the training are strategies and heuristics for problem solving, modeling, and examples of successful mathematics teaching. We found that our program succeeds in giving candidates a realistic expectation of their future career and a new way of looking at mathematics instruction.
