- Title
Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching Slope: Leveraging an Intrinsic Approach.
- Authors
Diamond, Jaime Marie
- Abstract
This paper leverages an intrinsic approach to the conception of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) to show how it can be used to examine teachers' MKT. In this qualitative study, I interviewed eight practicing teachers using tasks designed to generate data regarding their (a) personal interpretations of slope, (b) understanding of how others develop similar interpretations, and (c) understanding of the discussions and activities that serve that development. Five participants provided evidence they had transformed their personal interpretations of slope into MKT slope. Interestingly, two of the three participants who did not were inspired to begin transforming their interpretations into MKT during the interview suggesting methods teacher educators might use to support the development of mathematics teachers' MKT.
