Hodges, Thomas E.; Cady, JoAnn – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2013
In this paper, we draw on Wenger's (1998) conception of communities of practice to observe the emergence of a community of practice among middle grades mathematics teachers who participated in a two-year blended-format (online synchronous, online asynchronous, and face to face) professional development program designed to increase middle-grades…

Clarke, Doug; Roche, Anne; Wilkie, Karina; Wright, Vince; Brown, Jill; Downton, Ann; Horne, Marj; Knight, Rose; McDonough, Andrea; Sexton, Matthew; Worrall, Chris – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2013
As part of a teacher professional learning project in mathematics education, university mathematics educators taught demonstration lessons in project primary schools. These lessons were part of a "pre-brief, teaching, and debrief" process, in which up to eight teachers observed each lesson. Using brief questionnaires completed in advance of the…

Staples, Megan E.; Truxaw, Mary P. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2012
This article presents an examination of the language demands of cognitively demanding tasks and proposes an initial framework for the language demands of higher-order mathematics thinking practices. We articulate four categories for this framework: "language of generalisation," "language of comparison," "language of proportional reasoning," and…

Smith, Wendy M. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2012
The three middle level mathematics teachers in this set of case studies were engaged in a longitudinal professional development program that sought to impact teaching practices through increasing participants' mathematical knowledge for teaching. This study investigates how teachers use the contexts in which their teaching practices are situated.…

Pegg, John; Panizzon, Debra – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
When questioned, secondary mathematics teachers in rural and regional schools in Australia refer to their limited opportunities to engage and share experiences with peers in other schools as an under-utilised and cost-effective mechanism to support their professional learning and enhance their students' learning. The paper reports on the creation…

Beswick, Kim; Jones, Tammy – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
This article describes the implementation and outcomes, as perceived by the professional learning providers and school principals, of a professional learning (PL) model devised in response to recognition that models of PL that are effective in urban settings are not effective in rural and remote areas. Rather than expecting the teachers to travel…

Goos, Merrilyn; Dole, Shelley; Geiger, Vince – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
In Australia, concerns about the quality of mathematics education that students experience are particularly salient in rural schools. These schools typically report great difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified teachers of mathematics. Teachers in non-metropolitan locations may also experience professional isolation if they have limited…

Sullivan, Peter; Clarke, Doug; Clarke, Barbara – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2009
As part of a research and professional development project that focused on the opportunities and constraints provided by different kinds of mathematical tasks, a group of 67 primary and 40 secondary practising teachers of mathematics were asked to complete a survey focusing on their use of tasks. In this article, we discuss responses to one…

Groth, Randall – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2007
This study focuses on a group of practitioners from a school district that adopted reform-oriented curriculum materials but later rejected them, partially due to the inclusion of alternative algorithms in the materials. Metaphors implicit in a conversation among the group were analysed to illuminate their perspectives on instructional issues…

Even, Ruhama – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2005
In this article, two problems associated with the expectation that teachers use contemporary assessment techniques are examined. The first problem relates to teachers' sense-making of assessment data. Illustrative cases revealed that teachers' processes of interpretation of students' understanding, knowledge and learning of mathematics draws on a…

Lowrie, Tom – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2002
Describes the types of problems young children generated in problem-posing situations as they worked, on a one-to-one basis, with a student teacher. Indicates that problem-posing actions of students can be nurtured by teachers' actions. (Author/KHR)

Khisty, Lena Licon; Chval, Kathryn B. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2002
Discusses the role and nature of pedagogic discourse. Suggests that teacher talk plays an important role in the learning of radically, ethnically, and linguistically diverse students. Examines the way a teacher uses her talk in teaching and how her 5th grade Latino students develop control over the mathematics discourse. (Author/KHR)

Povey, Hilary – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2002
Investigates the connection between epistemology and openness to equity issues in the thinking of beginning secondary mathematics teachers. Analyzes teachers' responses around four themes: (1) beliefs about the nature of mathematics; (2) how those beliefs affect their pedagogy; (3) how they explain student failure; and (4) views on initial teacher…

Miller, L. Diane – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1991
Ninth-grade students' (n=90) responses to impromptu, in-class writing assignments were examined to evaluate students' understanding of mathematical concepts. Participating teachers benefited by seeing how students' writings may reveal misconceptions concerning mathematical concepts, skills, and generalizations. (MDH)
