Buchbinder, Orly; McCrone, Sharon; Capozzoli, Michelle; Butler, Rebecca – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2021
It has been suggested that integrating reasoning and proof in mathematics teaching requires a special type of teacher knowledge -- Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Proof (MKT-P). Yet, several important questions about the nature of MKT-P remain open, specifically, whether MKTP is a type of knowledge specific to teachers, and whether MKT-P can…

Livy, Sharyn; Yanni, Marie; Downton, Ann; Muir, Tracey – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
This paper reports on a mathematics leader who participated as a co-teacher alongside a teacher educator in a university classroom. The collaboration was designed to bring the profession into the university. Case study research design and qualitative methods were used to analyse written self-reflections, transcripts of interviews and the…

Davidson, Aylie – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2017
The process of planning mathematics lessons is complex and presents challenges for teachers, specifically in their Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT). In this paper, I describe findings from case study research in which a Year 1 teaching team engaged in professional reading and used a specific planning proforma to enhance their MKT.…

Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Brown, Rachael Eriksen; Burke, James P.; Millett, John; Nagar, Gili Gal; Park, Jinsook; Weiland, Travis – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
In this study we extend our prior exploration focused on the extent to which middle school teachers appropriately identified proportional situations and whether there were relationships between attributes of the teachers and their ability to identify proportional situations. For this study, we analyzed both a larger dataset (n = 32) and two…

Nagle, Courtney; Moore-Russo, Deborah; Styers, Jodie L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2017
This paper describes seven in-service teachers' interpretations of student statements about slope. The teachers interpreted sample student work, conjectured about student contributions, assessed the students' understanding, and positioned the students' statements in the mathematics curriculum. The teachers' responses provide insight into their…

Nagar, Gili Gal; Weiland, Travis; Brown, Racheal Eriksen; Orrill, Chandra Hawley; Burke, James – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2016
In this study we explored to what extent middle school teachers were able to appropriately identify proportional situations when presented with various mathematical structures and if there were relationships between attributes of the teachers and their ability to identify proportional situations. Interestingly, there were no strong relationships…

Lomas, Laurinda; Clarke, Doug – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
As teaching is a cultural activity embedded in a unique context, professional development opportunities for teachers may be best placed amid the relevance of everyday classroom practice, and supported by an innovative curriculum. This progress paper reports on data collected as part of doctoral research studying the changes in mathematical…

Chinnappan, Mohan; White, Bruce – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
That the quality of teachers' knowledge has direct impact on students' engagement and learning outcomes in mathematics is now well established. But questions about the nature of this knowledge and how to characterise that knowledge are important for mathematics educators. In the present study, we examine a strand of "Specialised Content…

Bennison, Anne – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
If teachers are to adequately support development of their students' numeracy capabilities then they need to have an identity as a teacher of numeracy. A preliminary evaluation of a conceptual framework (Bennison & Goos, 2013) developed for use in a two-year study that seeks to understand this construct is presented. Initial findings about an…

Thanheiser, Eva; Noll, Jennifer; Leavy, Aisling – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
Prior research investigating PSTs' statistical thinking is sparse, yet teacher educators need to know how best to prepare future teachers for their work and given the increasing importance of STEM education we need teachers who are capable of preparing students at an early age to think about data. In this paper we share the results from a study…

Cooke, Audrey – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
It is essential that pre-service teacher educators address pre-service teacher numeracy but with careful consideration as it incorporates more than mathematics skills. Numeracy also involves disposition towards mathematics--attitudes, confidence and mathematics anxiety; that is, the level of willingness to use mathematics skills. As part of an…

Chernoff, Egan J.; Russell, Gale L. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
The main objective of this article is to contribute to the limited research on teachers' knowledge of probability. In order to meet this objective, we presented prospective mathematics teachers with a variation of a well known task and asked them to determine which of five possible coin flip sequences was least likely to occur. To analyze…

Mochón, Simón; Escobar, Marleny Hernández – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2011
In this article we describe the results of a special final course, at the main teachers' college in Mexico, which had two related main objectives: one was to find out the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) held by student teachers (ST) at the end of their instructional preparation. The other was to discern ways to improve this knowledge and…

Meaney, Tamsin; Lange, Troels – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
The limited mathematical knowledge of pre-service primary teachers is an international concern. The areas of mathematical difficulties have been well documented, which has led to many universities instituting testing regimes to ensure that their pre-service teachers have appropriate knowledge of primary school mathematics. In this study, the…

Forrester, Tricia; Chinnappan, Mohan – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2010
Teachers play a crucial role in the mathematical learning outcomes of their students. The quality of teachers' mathematical knowledge has been of interest to key stakeholders and several lines of inquiry have been running in an effort to better understand the kinds of knowledge that mathematics teachers need to acquire and use to drive their…
