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 (34th, Kalamazoo, MI, Nov 1-4, 2012)
This research investigates the question of what growth, if any, is shown by teachers in identifying the components of children's reasoning using an upper and lower bounds argument for a fraction task. Specifically, it reports on assessment outcomes from design-based research in teacher education that measures teachers' identification of children's reasoning from studying videos. We describe the nature of the instructional intervention as well as the video-based assessment used as a pre and post measures for identifying children's mathematical reasoning, and report on the nature of teacher growth in recognizing components of children's arguments.
