Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine how preservice middle-school mathematics teachers connect mathematics with museum resources in their lesson plans. Nine museum-based mathematics lesson plans developed by preservice teachers were examined, based on the interactive experience model. The findings showed that although the preservice teachers were able to connect museum exhibits with many mathematical concepts, most recognised only explicit representations of mathematics in the various objects, and not the more abstract mathematical concepts embedded in those objects. The preservice teachers also used the museum resources in their lesson plans to provide a context or problem situation in which students could use mathematics in procedural ways.

The Journal of Education for Teaching is an established international refereed periodical which publishes original contributions on the subject of teacher education. The journal interprets "teacher education" in the widest sense, to include initial training, in-service education and staff development. The editors welcome scholarly discussions of new issues, reports of research projects or surveys of research work in particular fields, and contributions to current debates in teacher education throughout the world, generally or on specific issues.
