Title:

Exploring Mathematical Connections Between Abstract Algebra and Secondary Mathematics from the Perspectives of Mathematics Faculty and Practicing Teachers

This poster focuses on the first stage of a study designed to explore how preservice teachers establish connections between abstract algebra and secondary school mathematics. Additionally, I will describe the motivation for collecting the data in the context of the larger research study. The purpose of this first stage was to gather information regarding mathematical connections between abstract algebra and secondary school mathematics, through the use of online surveys, from the perspectives of mathematics faculty as well as practicing secondary mathematics teachers. The survey data was analyzed using qualitative methods. Many mathematics faculty reported that they incorporate mathematical connections to secondary mathematics into their abstract algebra instruction.
