This chapter describes a model of integrating an elementary mathematics methods course with an afterschool club in order to support pre-service teachers' development of a teaching practice. The goal of the model was to help pre-service teachers integrate theory and practice as well as begin to notice particular elements of a classroom and lesson. Details of the model, the course, and how the partnership with the elementary school was formed are shared. In addition, results from analyzing pre-service teachers' journal responses indicate most teachers focused on classroom management initially; however, writing shifted to focus on students' mathematical ideas and the purpose of play. Learnings with respect to teacher education as well as ideas for future research are discussed.

This chapter introduces conversation theory as a means of creating an active learning environment in an elementary mathematics methods course. It argues that such an environment, designed for undergraduate candidates in teacher education, will engage the learners in the task of developing deep conceptual understanding to support and give rationale to the procedural knowledge most of them already have. Furthermore, the authors hope that an understanding of conversation theory as applied to teaching mathematics will help instructors and instructional designers to facilitate preservice teachers’ engagement in reaching a deep conceptual understanding of the mathematics they are preparing to teach.
