Lee, Hea-Jin; Özgün-Koca, S. Asli; Meagher, Michael; Edwards, Michael Todd – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2018
A transition from "doer" to "teacher" for prospective teachers requires them to reorient from thinking about how they do mathematics to engaging with students and their work, understanding student representations, and planning instruction accordingly. To scaffold a transition, we developed a five-step mathematics as teacher…

Magiera, Marta T.; van den Kieboom, Leigh A.; Moyer, John C. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2017
In this study, we examined the ability of grades 1-8 pre-service teachers (PSTs) to engage in thinking about patterns, relationships, and functional rules. Using the algebraic habit of mind Building Rules to Represent Functions as a framework, we examined whether and how well our PSTs (n = 18) used seven features of this habit of mind: organize…

Lamberg, Teruni; Wiest, Lynda R. – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2015
The paper reports an investigation into how a group of elementary and middle school teachers collectively attempted to solve and understand a fraction division problem using an area model. Solving the word problem required that teachers determine how many two-thirds fit into three-fourths. The teachers struggled to conceptualise fraction division,…

Meagher, Michael; Edwards, Michael Todd; Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2013
Successful teacher preparation programs provide learning experiences that help teacher candidates make the shift from "student" to "teacher." In this paper we present research on the implementation of a process for providing candidates such experiences. Utilizing the Mathematics as Teacher Heuristic (MATH) process, prospective…

Viseu, Floriano; da Ponte, Joao Pedro – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2012
Prospective mathematics teachers often start their practice with images of learning situations quite different from current curriculum orientations. Such is the case of Fabio, who, at the beginning of his practicum, proposed mostly exercises and promoted unidirectional communication. We analyse the contribution of a teacher education setting based…

Afamasaga-Fuata'i, Karoline – Mathematics Teacher Education and Development, 2009
This article presents data from a group of secondary pre-service teachers who used vee diagrams to illustrate their conceptual and methodological analyses of a problem, as part of a required mathematics methods course assignment. The individually constructed vee diagrams were analysed in terms of the extent to which they displayed principles and…
