This study reports on an early career Year 2 teacher's reflections of enacting specifically structured resource materials and her practice change when participating in a mathematics professional learning project. A qualitative case study was designed to examine the reflections of a teacher's pre-service and in-service teaching experiences. Data collection instruments included a timeline graphing tool and a semi-structured interview to capture and communicate her reflections. Findings reveal that providing structured resource materials within a professional learning project supported changes in pedagogical practice.
