Prospective Teachers’ Conceptions of Area
This study explored 10 prospective teachers’ (PTs’) understanding of the area of a rectangular region using square and non-square rectangular area-units. In an hour-long interview, each PT was first asked to explain how they would find the area of a given rectangular region in terms of a non-square notecard. For several PTs, this task prompted discussion of a square unit defined by the edge of the notecard. In a second task, PTs were presented wi…

Characteristics of Classroom Mathematics Traditions
In this paper, we attempt to clarify what it means to teach mathematics for understanding and to learn mathematics with understanding. To this end, we present an interactional analysis of transcribed video recordings of two lessons that occurred in different elementary school classrooms. The lessons, which are representative of a much larger data corpus, were selected because both focus on place value numeration and involve the use of similar man…
