Abstract

Abstract: This article describes how mathematics method courses could become opportunities for integrating preservice P-5 teachers' mathematics learning experiences to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). I explore varying dynamics that impact preservice P-5 teachers' mathematics-STEM experiences and highlight how teacher educators could use mathematics method courses to develop STEM integration. Informed by these important dynamics, I share recommendations.
