Abstract

Given the move toward algebra-for-all across the U.S. and algebra’s role as a gatekeeper to careers and advanced studies, it is imperative that we study how future teachers are prepared to teach algebra. This study aims to investigate future secondary mathematics teachers’ opportunities to learn about algebraic connections. Data were collected from instructor interviews, focus group interviews with future teachers, and course materials from five institutions. Analyzing these data using a framework highlighting four different types of algebraic connections, we report different types of opportunities to learn about algebra found at case study sites.
