One opportunity to increase mathematical creativity among prospective elementary teachers (PETs) is to encourage their creation of multiple solution paths and algorithms to typical questions found in mathematics curricula and tasks. In this study, we asked prospective elementary teachers currently enrolled in mathematics teaching methods courses in two separate regions of the United States to complete a survey about generating multiple solutions to two two-digit whole-number multiplication questions and to reflect on a mathematics teacher educator showing them via video recordings three approaches each to two multi-digit whole-number multiplication questions. In this report, we will focus on the PETs’ generation of multiple solutions to the multiplication questions. Although most PETs included an algorithm commonly taught in American mathematics textbooks at the elementary level, many study participants expressed the same solution in different ways. The expression of familiar ideas in new ways affords mathematics teacher educators to use their limited time in mathematics methods classes to present PETs familiar content (how to teach multiplication) and new-to-them content (mathematical creativity). By doing so, PETs will be able to enter the classroom well-prepared to use their creative knowledge in their mathematics teaching.
