NCTM Annual Preconference Institute – Wednesday, October 15, 2025 Developing Proactive Interventions that Engage – Priming Students for Success Grades 1-5 This all-day institute focuses on planning and implementing proactive interventions for students with disabilities or significant learning gaps in grades 1-5. Using evidence-based strategies such as concrete/semi-concrete/abstract (CSA), participants will learn how to help students develop a balanced understanding of mathematics concepts and skills with a focus on number and operations and algebraic thinking. A new model called Priming will be shared and participants will experience classroom-tested tasks that create robust learning opportunities and avoid the “teaching as telling” approach. Resources and instructional strategies shared will support lasting learning by building from students' strengths and avoiding “rules that expire.” Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, 11th edition The Van de Walle, Karp, and Bay Williams Mathematics Methods Book – just won the 2025 Textbook & Academic Authors Association (TAA) McGuffey Longevity Award (https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/elementary-and-middle-school-mathematics-teaching-developmentally/P200000001979/9780136818038?srsltid=AfmBOoqnu0BFDZvgYXYhYK8Z9nAmNyOMkinVhnH1N5eXfS1BnewE9yfr) The Math Pact Series with Sarah Bush and Barbara Dougherty (https://www.nctm.org/store/mathpact/) AMTE Community Circles (https://amte.net/content/amte-community-circles) Special Guest: Karen Karp.

The authors began this work with the understandings that (a) there is no “neutral” when it comes to the teaching of mathematics, and (b) mathematics teacher educators need to do something to help produce teachers of mathematics that develop students' relationships with mathematics and push against the inequities that exist both within and outside of the classrooms in which they will teach. In response, the authors created, deployed, and studied a learning module in an attempt to enact antiracist mathematics teacher education. The learning module activities, the findings about the learning from the prospective teachers who engaged in the module, and messages for mathematics teacher educators who want to engage in this work are shared. Special Guests: Anne Marie Marshall, Joel Amidon, and Rebecca E. Smith.

The spaces we inhabit and the physical communities in which we learn all affect how we come to experience the world, construct what mathematics is to us, and develop how we teach mathematics. In this theory-to-practice article, we discuss why explicitly considering spatial ways of knowing is important in mathematics teacher education. We begin by providing theoretical arguments for the importance of considering space in mathematics education. We then present a rationale for why considering space is so important in mathematics teacher education, specifically discussing links to the practice of teaching mathematics. Examples of how to consider tasks related to spatial justice are provided to help reimagine what an mathematics teacher education task can look like. Special Guests: Lisa Poling and Travis Weiland.

Critical Race Theory (CRT) has entered into public discourse at an accelerated rate. Instead of using CRT as a basis to produce a more racially conscious populace, the latest hysteria, unfortunately, has centered on ban- ning CRT. Governmental actions have been instituted to establish executive orders to forbid CRT training. Administrators and educators have been written up, sus- pended, and even terminated for teaching about race. The current landscape around CRT is about censoring race-related discussions and obstructing any advance- ments in service to racial equity and justice. In the edu- cational arena, more than 20 states have banned CRT from being taught in our nation's public school class- rooms. A new report from the Institute for Democracy, Education, and Access found that 35% of all students in U.S. K–12 schools have been affected somehow by local anti-CRT efforts (Pollock & Rogers, 2022). CRT proper is not taught in K–12 schools, so these efforts clearly demonstrate that those who are championing them are ill-informed about where CRT is taught in the first place. Special Guests: Cathery Yeh, Christopher Charlie Jett , and Maria Zavala.

This article describes an innovation in an elementary mathematics education course called SEE Math (Support and Enrichment Experiences in Mathematics), which aims to support teacher candidates (TCs) as they learn to teach mathematics through problem solving while promoting equity during multiple experiences with a child. During this 8-week program, TCs craft and implement tasks that promote problem solving in the context of a case study of a child's thinking while collecting and analyzing student data to support future instructional decisions. The program culminates in a mock parent– teacher conference. Data samples show how SEE Math offers TCs an opportunity to focus on the nuances of children's strengths rather than traditional measures of achievement and skill. Special Guests: Crystal Kalinec-Craig, Emily Bonner, and Traci Kelley.

Gudrun Thäter hat sich an der FU Berlin zu einem Gespräch über Geschlecht und Mathematik mit Anina Mischau & Mechthild Koreuber verabredet. Anina Mischau leitet dort im Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik die Arbeitsgruppe Gender Studies in der Mathematik. Dies ist in Deutschland die einzige derartige Stelle, die innerhalb der Mathematik angesiedelt ist. Sie hat dort vielfältige Aufgaben in Forschung und Lehre mit einem gewissen Schwerpunkt in der Ausbildung für das Lehramt. Dort hilft sie, einen Grundstein dafür zu legen, dass zukünftige Mathelehrkräfte für die Bedeutung der sozialen Kategorie Geschlecht bei der Vermittlung und beim Lernen von Mathematik sensibilisiert werden und lernen, einen gendersensiblen Mathematikunterricht zu gestalten. Auf Vorschlag von Anina Mischau hatten wir auch die zentrale Frauenbeauftragte der FU - Mechthild Koreuber - herzlich zu unserem Gespräch eingeladen. Auch sie ist studierte Mathematikerin und hat über Mathematikgeschichte promoviert. Uns alle bewegen solche Fragen wie: Warum entsprechen die Anteile von Frauen in höheren Ebenen der Mathematikfachbereiche nicht ihren Anteilen in den Eingangsstadien wie Studium oder Promotion? Liegt es auschließlich an den Eigenheiten der akademischen Laufbahn oder gibt es hierfür zudem spezifisch fachkulturelle Gründe? Was bedeutet es für die Mathematik, wenn sie ausschließlich von Männern entwickelt wird? In der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit hierzu verfolgen die zwei Gesprächspartnerinnen von Gudrun vier unterschiedliche Forschungsrichtungen: Wie stellt sich die Geschichte von Frauen in der Mathematik dar? Welche didaktischen Ansätze sind geeignet, um mehr Menschen zu Mathematik einzuladen? Was sind Exklusionsmechanismen für Frauen (und nicht in die vorherrschende Mathematiker-Norm passende andere Personen) in der Mathematik? Wie könnte eine Mathematik aussehen, die das Potential von unterschiedlicheren Menschen einbezieht? In der Geschichte der Mathematik geht es nicht nur darum, das Vergessen in und die Verdrängung von Frauen aus der eigenen Disziplingeschichte sichtbar zu machen, sondern vor allem auch um das Aufzeigen, wo und wie das Werk und Wirken von Mathematikerinnen mathematische Diskurse und damit innermathematische Entwicklungen der Disziplin beeinflusst haben. Ein Thema, an dem Mechthild Koreuber zum Beispiel intensiv forscht, ist die Schule um Emmy Noether. Wie konnte es einen so großen Kreis von Schülerinnen und Schülern geben, die bei ihr lernen wollten, trotz eigener prekären Stellensituation und damit verbunden auch (formal) wenig Reputationsgewinn für ihre Schüler und Schülerinnen. Es kann eigentlich nur die Faszination der mathematischen Ideen gewesen sein! Das Bild der Mathematik als von Männern entwickelte und betriebene - also männliche - Disziplin ist verquickt mit der Vorstellung, was von uns als Mathematik eingeordnet wird, aber auch wem wir mathematische Fähigkeiten zuschreiben. Automatisch werden innerhalb dieses Ideen- und Personennetzes Frauen bei gleichem Potential gegenüber ins Bild passenden Männern benachteiligt und ihr Potential kommt nicht so gut zur Entfaltung. Daneben feiern längst überwunden geglaubten Stereotype fröhliche Urständ, wie am 1.2. 2017 im ZEIT-Artikel Lasst Mädchen doch mit Mathe in Ruhe. Nicht ganz unschuldig am Abschied der Frauen von der Mathematik sind sicher auch unsere häufig steinzeitlichen Unterrichts-Konzepte auf der Hochschulebene, denn Mathematik ist nicht - wie angenommen - überkulturell. Wenn wir Mathematik betreiben, neue Ergebnisse gewinnen oder Mathematik vermitteln sind wir eingebunden in soziale und kulturelle Produktionszusammenhänge wie Kommunikationsprozesse, die u.a. auch durch die soziale Kategorie Geschlecht mit geprägt werden. Außerdem ist wie Mathematik publiziert und unterrichtet wird nicht wie Mathematik entsteht. Die Freude und Neugier an Mathematik wird in der Ausbildung nicht in den Vordergrund gestellt. Statt dessen ist Mathematik gerade für zukünftige Lehrkräfte oft mit negativen Gefühlen und einem eher eindimensionalen (und vielleicht auch stereotypen) Verständnis von Mathematik besetzt, was später in der eigenen schulischen Praxis unbeabsichtigt an Kindern und Jugendliche als Bild von Mathematik weitergegeben wird. Um diesen Teufelskreis aufzubrechen braucht es mehr Freiräume und auch neue Konzepte und Ansätze in der Hochschullehre. Wir Mathematiker und Mathematikerinnen sind für das Bild der Mathematik in der Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Ganz besonders in der Ausbildung für das Lehramt können wir hier starken Einfluss nehmen. Dafür müssen wir besser verstehen: Wo und wie werden Ideen ausgeschlossen, die dem engen vorherrschenden Bild von Mathematik nicht entsprechen? Wieso ist es ok, öffentlich auf Distanz zu Mathematik zu gehen (und damit zu kokettieren: In Mathe war ich immer schlecht) oder "Mathematiker als Nerd" oder halb verrückte Menschen darzustellen? Dieses Bild gehört neu gezeichnet durch allgemeinverständliches Reden über Mathematik und ihre Rolle für uns alle. Darüber hinaus ist und bleibt Mathematik eine soziale Konstruktion - das ist nicht immer leicht zu akzeptieren. Im Kontext der Geschlechterforschung werden Geschlechterasymmetrien und Geschlechterunterschiede im Fach Mathematik als Produkt einer Wechselwirkung zwischen der sozialen Konstruktion von Geschlecht und der sozialen Konstruktion von Mathematik gesehen werden, die in der Vermittlung der Mathematik (im schulischen Unterricht wie in der Hochschullehre) reproduziert wird. Die soziale Konstruktion von Mathematik und ihre Wechselwirkung mt anderen sozokulturellen Konstruktionen kann aber auch jenseits der Diskurse in der Geschlechterforschung verdeutlicht werden - z.B. an der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus. Offensichtlich entschieden damals äußere Faktoren darüber, wer Mathematik machen und vermitteln darf und es wird der oft verdeckte (oder verleugnete) kulturelle und gesellschaftliche Einfluss auf die Disziplin sichtbar. Es wäre wünschenswert, wenn man auch für solche Themen Qualifikationsarbeiten in der Mathematik als fachintern ansehen lernen würde. Gemeinsam beschreitet man an der FU neue Wege: In Anträgen für Forschungsmitteln werden auch Projekte für wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen in den Forschungsclustern mitgeplant, die verstehen wollen wie und warum Frauen in der Disziplin bleiben oder gehen, was die Wissenschaftler (und Wissenschaftlerinnen) für ihren Nachwuchs tun und wie sich das auf Diversität auswirkt. Leider wird Mathematikphilosophie und - geschichte derzeit nicht als Teil der Disziplin Mathematik wahrgenommen. Es fehlt der Respekt - das Gefühl des Sprechens auf gleicher Augenhöhe. Ein Wunsch wäre: In naher Zukunft einen Workshop im Mathematischen Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach zum Thema Mathematik neu Denken zu organisieren. Das wäre eine Art Lackmustest, ob Bereitschaft zum Wandel in der Mathematik besteht. Im Januar gab es immerhin schon einen Mini-Workshop zum Thema Frauen in der Mathematikgeschichte.
