Chazan, Daniel; Yerushalmy, Michal; Leikin, Roza – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2008
This interview study takes place in the context of a single small district in the United States. In the algebra curriculum of this district, there was a shift in the conception of equation, from a statement about unknown numbers to a question about the comparison of two functions over the domain of the real numbers. Using two of Shulman's…

Sherin, Miriam Gamoran – Cognition and Instruction, 2002
Investigated the ways teachers' content knowledge affected implementation of mathematics education reform by observing teachers during a reform-based algebra lesson. Found that teachers learned during this process by modifying existing content knowledge and developing new content knowledge and appropriate strategies, and that teachers negotiated…
