摘要: Common Core Mathematics Standards (CCMS) is a major effort at revamping the US K-12 mathematics education. Using CCMS criteria, this chapter presents findings on investigating understanding of concept slope among group STEM majors who were enrolled in an undergraduate experimental teacher preparation program as window through which to address issue content training teachers general. Data suggest that even these students, there are holes their conceptual and connection between linear equation its graph. These weaknesses could pose challenges for preparedness teach consistent with rigor calls for. Taking courses specifically topics helpful.
