The goals of the PMET project are:
  1. Support mathematicians to become more effective in helping future K-12 teachers develop a deeper understanding of the mathematical ideas that arise in K-12 teaching practice and pedagogical strategies appropriate for these ideas.

  2. Promote collaboration by mathematicians with education faculty and with teachers in local schools.

  3. Facilitate greater involvement of mathematicians in:
    4.
    • Professional development activities for current teachers

    • Helping local and state administrators develop sensible mathematics curricula and testing standards.
      •
  1. Connect mathematicians with the numerous ongoing efforts of state education agencies and national organizations to improve school mathematics instruction.
    2.
