Abstract
The author presents how to support preservice teachers (PSTs) in the development of problem-solving skills utilizing the following procedures: (1) assess PSTs' knowledge levels of problem-solving by utilizing a specified task; (2) examine PSTs' varying solutions to the selected task; (3) discuss PSTs' needs in developing and supporting problem-solving skills; and (4) identify the role mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) play in meeting PSTs' needs. The author ends with implications on how MTEs may best prepare the next generation of mathematics teachers.
