Abstract

This paper discusses the preservice teachers individual as well as collaborative perception and experiences of mental math. It describes how groups of preservice teachers attempted to do two basic computations mentally, and how they differentiate them from paper-and-pencil math. What they learned and felt in this learning experience has been described and its mathematical and pedagogical implications are touched upon.
