The need to improve the mathematical proficiency of elementary teachers is well recognized, and it has long been of interest to educators and researchers in the U.S. and many other countries. But the specific proficiencies that elementary teachers need and the process of developing and improving them remain only partially conceptualized and not well validated empirically. To improve this situation, national workshops were organized at Texas A&M University to generate focused discussions about this important topic, with participation of mathematicians, mathematics educators and teachers. Developing Mathematical Proficiency for Elementary Instruction is a collection of articles that grew out of those exciting cross-disciplinary exchanges.

Developing Mathematical Proficiency for Elementary Instruction is organized to probe the specifics of mathematical proficiency that are important to elementary teachers during two separate but inter-connected professional stages: as pre-service teachers in a preparation program, and as in-service teachers teaching mathematics in elementary classrooms. From this rich and inspiring collection, readers may better understand, and possibly rethink, their own practices and research in empowering elementary teachers mathematically and pedagogically, as educators or researchers.

Industry Reviews

"I found this book to be an enjoyable read for stimulating ideas for my own future research and practice in mathematics teacher education, and several chapters contain ideas and results that I intend to cite in future work. ... I believe that this volume provides a good first step on the long pathway to improving our work as MTEs. ... this book offers the beginnings of a strong foundation." (Julien Corven, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 110, 2022)
"This book is an important contribution to the field of Mathematics Education particularly as it applies to preparing and supporting elementary teachers and their mathematical knowledge for teaching. I highly recommend the book as essential reading for all mathematicians and mathematics educators who teach pre-service elementary teachers. Graduate students in mathematics education will find it a very useful synopsis of the current research in the field." (Mary Beth Rollick, MAA Reviews, August 14, 2021)
