It is easy to dismiss the work of "teaching students to apply formula" as a low-order priority and thus trivialises the professional knowledge associated with this practice. Our encounter with an experienced teacher--through the examination of her practices and elaborations--challenges this simplistic assumption. There are layers of…

The more ambitious an educational innovation, the greater the challenge in scaling up. In this paper, we focus on the scaling up of an ambitious pedagogical practice--mathematics problem solving as a regular feature in the classroom. We adopt a long-term approach to continual professional development (CPD) that began with intensive work with one…

Making Things Explicit Using Instructional Materials: A Case Study of a Singapore Teacher's Practice
Leong, Yew Hoong; Cheng, Lu Pien; Toh, Wei Yeng Karen; Kaur, Berinderjeet; Toh, Tin Lam – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2019
The phrase 'make it explicit' is a common advice given to teachers. It is, however, not clear to us what this actually means when translated into classroom practice. Our review found that we are not alone: "explicit" is used in different ways in the education literature. This paper explores, through a case study of a teacher who stated…
