Secondary Pre-Service Teachers' Images and Interpretations of Student Mathematical Thinking
Abstract/Description:
Teachers utilizing student mathematical thinking is important when teaching, yet many inservice teachers find it difficult to implement. The Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics (AMTE, 2017) outline the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that beginning teachers should have after graduating including the importance of attending to and interpreting student mathematical thinking. In this paper, we present results from two focused video analysis assignments that our pre-service teachers engaged in to identify their images of student mathematical thinking and their ability to attend to and interpret student mathematical thinking.
