North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (35th, Chicago, IL, Nov 14-17, 2013)
This paper presents the results of a study designed to facilitate teacher candidates' shift from students of mathematics to teachers of mathematics. We develop a series of tasks each of which encourages candidates to reconsider rich tasks from increasingly teacher-centric points of view. The results show that using authentic high school student solutions, in particular Livescribe™ videos, provides a powerful experience in seeing solution paths they had not considered and in helping teacher candidates think about mathematics from someone else's point of view.
