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 paper reports on a design experiment within a professional development context purposefully planned to teach teachers about students' mathematics thinking and learning. We examine the factors to which participating elementary teachers attributed student mathematics success or failure when engaging with the projects' professional learning tasks.
