This Teacher Education and Mathematics (TEAM) module focuses on women, mathematics, and careers. Module goals include (among others) increasing students’ awarenesss of the role that mathematics plays in almost all careers and their ability to pinpoint mathematics behaviors used in specific careers. The module consists of an instructor’s text and student materials. The instructor’s text provides (1) specific directions for guiding the lessons and (2) commentary designed to help teachers build positive mathematics attitudes. The format is one of “facing pages” whereby the right-hand page provides step-by-step teaching directives and the left-hand page furnishes commentary that articulates a philosophy, provides explanations, and suggests psychological approaches. The “commentary and notes” page also allots space for the instructor’s use and when no commentary applies, the entire page is alloted to “notes.” A sample letter, bibliography, background readings, and script for a companion audiotape titled “Getting from Here to There” are also provided. Student materials include such items (for use during or after instructional sessions) as a list of careers with related mathematical behaviors, an activity on teaching mathematics in careers, and another activity focusing on mathematics involved in a physician prescribing medication.
