Abstract:

Research suggests that teachers need to have mathematics content knowledge that allows them to effectively deal with the particular mathematical issues that arise in their everyday practice. This implies the importance of providing teachers with learning opportunities that prepare them to both recognize situations in their practice where these mathematical issues arise and be able to apply their mathematical knowledge to successfully manage these situations. Yet, little research has focused on how such learning opportunities can be effectively promoted in teacher education. In this article we take a step toward addressing this limitation by discussing and exemplifying a special kind of tasks for use in teacher education which we call "teaching-related mathematics tasks." These are mathematics tasks that are connected to teaching and can foster the development of teachers' mathematics content knowledge that is important for teaching.
