Our Vision
The vision of the BYU Mathematics Education Department is that students in mathematics classrooms at all levels (elementary, secondary, and post-secondary) will be engaged in authentic mathematical work; will develop deep, connected understanding of mathematics; and will be empowered to effectively use their mathematical knowledge outside of the classroom.

Dr. Amy Tanner Receives a Teaching Award From The BYU Faculty Women's Association
Dr. Tanner has consistently excellent student evaluations: students state that they have never taken a better class at BYU. They know she cares about them by how she interacts with them and makes adjustments with pacing as needed. Her peer evaluations note that she is also very organized and reflective about her teaching.

The Structure Of Student Teaching Can Change The Focus To Students' Mathematical Thinking
For many undergraduates studying in the field of math education, student teaching serves as a trial run for their real world experience. When structured correctly, student teaching can prepare students to be excellent mathematics teachers when they finally step into their own classroom. However, when the focus of the experience is on classroom management rather than on teaching the educational material, the student teacher fails to garner the skill most vital to their chosen profession: helping students to learn and understand mathematics.
