Fractions - Session 1: Studying mathematics teaching with a focus on fractions
Part 2: Using records of practice to study mathematics teaching
Overview
One challenge in studying teaching is that the work of teaching is often invisible. Much of what teachers do remains elusive and difficult to observe. Moreover, teachers often do things tacitly and therefore do not make visible what they are doing or easily explain it to others.
This part of the session explores challenges associated with studying teaching and the ways in which learning experiences in this module are designed to address those challenges.
