Preparing to Teach Algebra: A Study of Teacher Education (PTA) Project
Preparing to Teach Algebra: A Study of Teacher Education (PTA) is a collaborative research study at Michigan State University and Purdue University, which began in August 2011 with funding from the National Science Foundation.
Teaching, Assessment, Learning and Knowing Advanced Algebra (TALK-A2)
Unlike the first-year Algebra course and the high school Geometry course, very little is known about what is taught in advanced algebra (“Algebra 2”), how it is learned, how it is assessed, and how teachers' knowledge and practical rationality shape their instructional decision-making.

Welcome to the Michigan State University (MSU) Program in Mathematics Education (PRIME) website! PRIME houses the Mathematics Education Doctoral Program, which provides a Ph.D. for scholars, teachers and students seeking to understand and improve the teaching and learning of mathematics. The doctoral program is administered jointly by the College of Natural Science and the College of Education, with the College of Natural Science as the lead college. Graduate students are awarded many opportunities and fellowships through both colleges. PRIME is also the home for several mathematics education faculty members, staff and administrators for the Mathematics Education Doctoral Program.
We have information for prospective and current students on our site, as well as for faculty and friends of mathematics education.
