Preservice teachers analysis of the use of history in mathematics lessons

A group of preservice mathematics teachers participated in a course on history and technology in mathematics which includes a study of the historical development of mathematical concepts. This study examined the effect of the course on their critique of teaching materials using history. Results show that the participants developed more insightful critiques of teaching materials that integrated history poorly into the development of mathematical concepts.
