TL;DRAbstract

Dr. Constructivist is a character who was “born” while we were trying to develop ways of teaching what constructivism is and ways to address the obstacles that teachers might have to overcome in adapting a mathematics-reform and constructivist approach in the classroom. We were both working with in-service and preservice teachers at all levels and found that the ideas of constructivism were still new to them.
