Capturing Mathematical Learning, (CML) is a project to develop videos for prospective elementary teachers and their instructors which describe how children learn and think about mathematics in grades K-6.   These materials are designed to be used in mathematics content, methods, and graduate mathematics education courses to help preservice and in-service teachers connect the mathematics and mathematics pedagogy they are learning with the mathematics they will be teaching children.  The project is based on the authors’ book, Connecting Mathematics for Elementary Teachers (CMET), 2009 by Feikes, Schwingendorf and Gregg published by Addison-Wesley.  For more information on CMET, go to cmetonline.com. The current project, CML, is funded by a National Science Foundation grant. The goal of the project is to develop 60 videos about how children learn mathematics.  The project staff will conduct individual interviews with children.  They will edit these videos adding commentary and questions for the viewers to consider on selected segments.  The intent is to help students and teachers learn more about how children think mathematically and also to how to use this knowledge in their teaching of mathematics to children.
