Investigating What Makes Beginning Teachers' Enactment of Number Talks More or Less Ambitious

North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (43rd, Philadelphia, PA, Oct 14-17, 2021)
Number talks, a popular mathematics teaching routine in the United States, may offer supports for beginning teachers (BTs) to engage in ambitious instruction. BTs' enactments of number talks, however, are varied, and there are few empirical studies that explore how BTs' enactment of number talks could be more (or less) ambitious. This paper draws on classroom observation data from a large investigation of BTs' enactment of ambitious instruction in elementary mathematics across five teacher preparation programs. We analyzed 19 transcripts of number talks enacted by seven BTs to investigate what makes number talks more or less ambitious. Findings illustrate three patterns among number talks that were categorized as approaching ambitious using the M-Scan (Berry et al., 2013) instrument. Discussions and implications are offered in relation to mathematics teacher education and research. [For the complete proceedings, see ED630060.]
