Preparing Teachers of Mathematics with a Math Work Station Project

Supplementary Materials for AMTE Standards

The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE, 2017) clearly articulates expectations for beginning mathematics teachers in Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics.  An assignment that mathematics teacher educators can utilize to assess some of AMTE’s candidate standards is the Math Work Station Assignment. Overall, the Math Work Station Assignment has a teacher candidate a) plan/create a math work station, b) observe how students engage with mathematics at the station, and c) reflect on students’ mathematical thinking from the station.
