Mathematics Education Laboratory

Supporting students opting to become middle or high school math teachers and researching on mathematics pedagogy.

Our laboratory is supporting students who wish to become middle or high school mathematics teachers and researching into mathematics pedagogy. Our attempt is, in particular, to encourage the students to proactively acquire mathematical skills. In researching on mathematics pedagogy, we are practically studying (a) super science high schools that collaborate with middle schools and universities, (b) the use of the history of mathematics in math education, (c) utilization of technologies in math education and (d) ways to enhancing the ability to give math lectures during teaching practices at school.
