Guided by the principles of lesson study as applied to microteaching, this paper discusses the results and conclusions of a series of activities done by some graduate students of De La Salle University, Philippines, in an attempt to test the applicability of the lesson--Sequence and Patterns--to facilitate the transition of seventh graders from…

A crucial step towards improving the conceptual use of digital technology (DT) in the mathematics classroom is to increase teacher involvement in the development of tasks. Hence, this research considers some teacher factors that might influence DT algebra task development and implementation in secondary schools. We observed and assisted one group…

In recent years there has been an increased emphasis on algebraic reasoning in primary school classrooms. This includes introducing students to the mathematical practices of making conjectures, justifying and generalising. Drawing on findings from a classroom-based study, this paper explores one teacher's journey in shifting her task design and…
