Forelesning av Tim Rowland: Teacher learning provoked by teaching: equal-area triangles

One of the four dimensions of the Knowledge Quartet (a framework for analysing mathematics teaching) recognises the reality of the mathematics classroom as an unpredictable space, where teachers' ability to "think on their feet" is constantly tested in real time. Notwithstanding careful preparation, the teacher cannot predict the flow and development of the lesson as it unfolds, and ‘contingent’, unexpected events are commonplace. Usually, but not exclusively, such events are triggered by a student's response to a question or task. My talk reflects an ongoing interest in 'contingent' events from authentic mathematics classrooms, their demands on mathematics teacher knowledge, and their potential as a stimulus to develop it. This presentation has mathematics in the foreground and the growth of teacher knowledge as the context. The quasi-elementary mathematics in focus in this instance is equal-area triangles.
