| Abstract: | The construction of concept maps and the writing of interpretive essays in mathematics courses for preservice and continuing
teachers provide students with rich learning experiences and yield substantial insights into the degree of connectedness of
their knowledge with respect to a given topic. With this dual approach students are given the opportunity to express their
knowledge in different ways, which allows for individual differences in learning styles and verifies the relationships illustrated.
As students actively participate in the task of developing connections between related concepts, reflect on their thinking,
and become engaged in mathematical discourse, students are provided with an opportunity to mature mathematically and to experience
an alternative approach to instruction and assessment.
