Connecting secondary and tertiary mathematics: Abstract algebra and inverse
Page: 1354
This study explores how practicing teachers make connections between secondary and tertiary mathematics. Using three frameworks for teacher knowledge of mathematics, coupled with key developmental understandings (KDUs) (Simon, 2006) as related to teacher knowledge (Murray & Wasserman, 2016), we observe how a professional development workshop focused abstract algebra impacts teachers’ understanding and teaching of secondary mathematics.
