What Mathematics Knowledge is Needed for Teaching Mathematics? Archived Information What Mathematics Knowledge is Needed for Teaching Mathematics? Deborah Loewenberg Ball University of Michigan

Multiply: What is the correct answer? Ask people to calculate this problem using whatever method they typically use.

What is Necessary Mathematics Knowledge for Teaching? Examine teaching, and identify the mathematical work that teaching entails Analyze what mathematical knowledge –– topics and skills –– is needed to do that work Analyze also the qualities of that knowledge –– how it must be understood and known to be serviceable for the work

Evaluating and interpreting common incorrect student answers What is the misunderstanding here?

Explaining mathematical concepts and procedures Why do we “move over” before writing 70?

Evaluating and appraising different methods Which of these students is using a method that could be used to multiply any two whole numbers?

Using representations to model and reason about procedures

Qualities of Mathematics Knowledge for Effective Instruction Respectful of the integrity of the discipline Able to be extended and opened up for learners –– “unpacked” Justified, reasoned Connected within and across domains, building on earlier ideas and anticipating more advanced topics Organized psychologically as well as logically

Using definitions Which shapes are polygons? Textbook definition: A closed flat two-dimensional shape whose sides are formed by line segments.

Definition: A simple closed plane curve formed by straight line segments. But –– what’s a mathematically acceptable definition of “polygon” that is usable by fifth graders?

Looking Back: What Mathematics Do Teachers Have to Do?

Looking Back: What Mathematics Do Teachers Have to Do? Design mathematically accurate explanations that are comprehensible and useful for students Use mathematically appropriate and comprehensible definitions Represent ideas carefully, mapping between a physical or graphical model, the symbolic notation, and the operation or process Interpret and make mathematical and pedagogical judgments about students’ questions, solutions, problems,and insights (both predictable and unusual) Be able to respond productively to students’ mathematical questions and curiosities Make judgments about the mathematical quality of instructional materials and modify as necessary Be able to pose good mathematical questions and problems that are productive for students’ learning Assess students’ mathematics learning and take next steps

Looking Back: What Mathematics Do Teachers Need to Know to Do Those Things?

Looking Back: What Mathematics Do Teachers Need to Know to Do Those Things? In general: Topics and ideas that are fundamental to the school curriculum–– and beyond Tools and skills for reasoning about mathematical claims, ideas, representations, and solutions; and sensibility about what constitutes adequate proof Fluency and care with mathematical language and notation Familiarity with applications of mathematics

Looking Back: What Mathematics Do (Elementary) Teachers Need to Know? What provides mathematical leverage? Representing and connecting representations (e.g., symbols, graphs, geometric models) Mathematical language and definitions Mathematical reasoning and justification Good sense about mathematical precision Mathematical curiosity and interest Concepts of number and place value notation Operations Number theory and number systems Common algorithms and how and why they work Concepts and tools of algebra Geometric concepts and reasoning Concepts and tools of statistics and probability

Conclusion: Knowing Mathematics for Teaching –– Three Core Principles Teachers need to know the same things and be able to do the same things as any adult, and much more. Knowledge needed for teaching is different from what is needed for other occupations or professions where mathematics is used (e.g., physics, mathematics, carpentry, tailoring, business). Knowledge needed for teaching must be usable for the mathematical work that teachers have to do.
