Making the Connections: Higher Algebra to School Mathematics A project of Education Development Center and Boston University, "Making the Connections: Higher Algebra to School Mathematics" was a proof-of-concept project funded by the National Science Foundation (DUE-9950722), which produced materials for use in courses for preservice mathematics teachers that make explicit connections between the mathematics they learn in college to the mathematics they will eventually teach.
