As technology becomes increasingly prominent in modern mathematics education, there's a growing need to understand the essential knowledge mathematics teachers need to effectively integrate technology in algebra instructions. This study therefore enhances the current Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) framework, which theorises teachers'…

This study analyzes the mathematical knowledge of 40 preservice Chilean Early Childhood and Primary Education teachers when designing mathematical tasks on patterns, in the context of teaching early algebra. Based on the domains of the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) model, we have adopted a descriptive qualitative methodological…

This paper sought to explore the Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching and the algebra difficulties of In-field and Out-of-field Junior High School mathematics teachers using the expanded KAT framework. The study employed the descriptive survey design and involved the participation of 374 mathematics teachers using an achievement test instrument. The…

Reform movements in mathematics education advocate that mathematical argumentation play a central role in all classrooms. However, research shows that mathematics teachers at all grade level find it challenging to support argumentation in mathematics classrooms. This study examines the role of teachers' mathematical knowledge in teachers' support…

A faculty development workshop, focused on incorporating universal learning strategies into developmental mathematics courses, was created and utilized in a developmental mathematics department at an open-enrollment, mid-western university to ascertain the best methods for dissemination of essential learning strategies to developmental math…

The importance of students being acquainted with algebraic ideas before secondary education has been revealed in the research literature. It is therefore essential that prospective elementary teachers (PTs) be prepared to instill an early algebra perspective in their teaching. However, PTs often show difficulties in algebra content knowledge,…
