Her K-12 classroom expertise has been invaluable in the transformation of our preservice teacher courses.” David Ruszkiewicz, MATC Mary Mooney MPS High School Teacher-in-Residence @ UWM Secondary School Math Methods Middle School Math Methods High School Algebra Labs Framework www.mmp.uwm.edu This material was developed by the Milwaukee Mathematics Partnership (MMP) with support by the National Science Foundation under Grant No 0314898 Any opinions, findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and not necessarily reflect the views of the Foundation
