Each of the volumes in this collection sheds new light on what it means to integrate content and pedagogy in a teacher education context. The collection includes: "Thinking About Being a Mathematics Teacher", challenging teachers to reflect on their goals and experiences related to mathematics education; "Developing a Topic Across the Curriculum: Functions", examining the ways in which mathematical content and teaching pedagogy are intertwined and inseparable; "Designing Teaching: The Pythagorean Theorem", exploring what might be called a teacher's "design kit" in relation to the Pythagorean Theorem and how the kit can be expanded to other mathematical topics; "Analyzing Subject Matter: Fundamental Ideas of Combinatorics", suggesting that combinatorial problems offer students a realistic opportunity to develop mathematics; "Modeling with Functions", focusing on how models based on functional relationships can provide powerful mathematical experiences for students; and "Posing Mathematically", helping teachers see the importance of problem design to student exploration.
