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…

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…

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…

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…
