Exploring primary teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics
conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 10:12 authored by Rosemary CallinghamRosemary CallinghamTeachers’ knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge of mathematics are important issues in the primary school. Much of this knowledge is tacit, and teachers take for granted their everyday practice. Focus groups of very experienced primary teachers were presented with scenarios about teaching mathematics, and asked to reflect on their own experiences. Outcomes from this process revealed a rich source of professional knowledge and awareness of both students’ thinking and ways in which this can be developed.
