As students contribute to social and sociomathematical norms, they will often reorganize their own understandings. As such, the purpose of this article is to describe the ways in which prospective elementary teachers contributed to the norms that were established and "re"-established throughout an entire semester in an undergraduate mathematics content course. Findings illustrate that norms must be renegotiated between an instructor and prospective teachers when the mathematics content changes.
