There is a broad endorsement among educators that pre-service teachers benefit greatly from being taught some history of mathematics. Publications of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), the Mathematics Association of America (MAA), and the International Committee on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) have included recommendations for the incorporation of history into the mathematics curriculum, especially for pre-service teachers. Through workshops and other direct dissemination of ideas and material, this proof of concept project educates faculty on ways to integrate historical content into mathematics courses and provides resources to do this.To improve the preparation of mathematics teachers by emphasizing historical development of mathematical ideas, the project is producing a textbook supplement consisting of resources for higher education faculty to use to integrate history of mathematics into courses taken by pre-service mathematics teachers. This includes teachers at both the elementary and secondary levels. The supplement includes many exercises that give students opportunities to experience the mathematics of a given period and culture. The activities are designed to prepare and empower future teachers to teach children about the important and exciting role that mathematics has played throughout history. Students are gaining an increased understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of mathematics, since many developments have been historically motivated by problems arising in other disciplines. Institutions are also being aided since this material helps make it possible to inject history across the mathematics curriculum. Technology has an increasingly important role to play in mathematics education, and provides computational and visual tools that can be used to deconstruct and reconstruct historical results and arguments. Many of the resources developed involve the use of technological tools such as Geometer's Sketchpad, Excel worksheets, and computer algebra systems.

教育工作者之间有广泛的认可，即服务前教师受到了一些数学历史的影响。 全国数学教师理事会（NCTM），美国数学协会（MAA）和国际数学教学委员会（ICMI）的出版物提出了将历史纳入数学课程中的建议，尤其是用于服务前教师。 通过研讨会和其他直接传播思想和材料，这项概念证明项目可以教育将历史内容整合到数学课程中的方法，并提供资源来做到这一点。为了改善数学教师的准备，通过强调数学思想的历史发展，该项目是通过将较高教育的教科书组成的资源来集成数学的资源，以使数学的资源补充数学，以使数学的资源补充数学，以使数学的历史补充数学，以使数学的历史融合数学。老师。 这包括基础和中学级别的教师。 该补充剂包括许多练习，使学生有机会体验特定时期和文化的数学。 这些活动旨在准备和授权未来的老师教给孩子关于数学在整个历史上扮演的重要和激动人心的角色。 由于历史上许多发展是出于其他学科的问题，因此学生对数学的跨学科性质有了越来越多的了解。 机构也得到了帮助，因为该材料有助于使整个数学课程注入历史记录。 技术在数学教育中起着越来越重要的作用，并提供了可用于解构和重建历史结果和参数的计算和视觉工具。 开发的许多资源都涉及使用技术工具，例如Geometer的Sketchpad，Excel工作表和计算机代数系统。
