We investigated how a program (GK-12) that engages diverse graduate students with middle school teachers and children impacts the participants’ teaching knowledge over a period of one day a week over ten-weeks. The experience includes graduate students developing and delivering a standards-based, hands-on and inquiry-infused lesson centered around their research interests. Qualitative analysis of reflective journals of the participants show that this intensive engagement with teachers and students increased their understanding and experience with pedagogical techniques and strategies to promote and improve student learning and understanding, developing and enhancing personality traits that encourage a positive culture for learning, and acquiring strategies and the fortitude needed to meet and deal with multiple priorities in a complex teaching environment. These results suggest that GK-12 type programs provide graduate students with skills and experiences that can be valuable when seeking employment in industry, the public or nonprofit sector, or as faculty at post-secondary institutions. Continued research of the program is necessary to determine how past participants have utilized these skills as a competitive advantage in their careers.

Specific Interests

Volume 11 marks the beginning of a second decade for Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School (MTMS). The journal has continued to grow since NCTM initially responded to readers' concerns and developed a publication addressing the specific interests and needs of middle school teachers and students. This focus on teachers and students that guided editorial decisions throughout the first ten years will continue to influence the contents and quality of the journal into the future.

Investigación Cualitativa

ResumoNa educação básica, as primeiras noções sobre o plano cartesiano iniciam com a identificação dos eixos coordenados e com a compreensão de que estes dividem o plano em quatro regiões chamadas de quadrantes. Esse entendimento se estende com a compreensão das noções relativas à posição, localização de figuras e deslocamentos no plano cartesiano. O objetivo do trabalho foi propor estratégias didático-metodológicas com o GeoGebra na abordagem matemática de quadrantes no plano cartesiano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, desenvolvida com professores de matemática do ensino fundamental II (do 6º ao 9º ano) de escolas públicas. A escolha do GeoGebra foi pelas funcionalidades que podem contribuir para o entendimento da temática. As estratégias didático-metodológicas foram elaboradas em fichas padronizadas e detalhadas para que professores e alunos tenham um roteiro de orientação durante a atividade.Palavras-chave: Software gratuito, Ensino fundamental (6º ao 9º ano), Educação matemática.AbstractIn elementary education, initial notions of the Cartesian plane start with identification of coordinate axes and the recognition that these divide planes into four quadrants.  This initial understanding extends to notions related to position, location, and displacement in the Cartesian plane. Our objective was to propose didactic-methodological strategies to introduce Cartesian quadrants using GeoGebra.  This qualitative study had an exploratory nature and was developed with middle-school teachers (6th to 9th grades) from public schools. GeoGebra was chosen because of features that contribute to building an understanding of the topic. The didactic-methodological strategies were standardised and detailed so that teachers and students would be guided throughout the activity.Keywords: Free software, Middle school (6th to 9th grade), Mathematics education.ResumenEn la educación básica, las primeras nociones sobre el plano cartesiano comienzan con la identificación de los ejes coordinados y con la comprensión de que dividen el plano en cuatro regiones llamadas cuadrantes.
