Professional learning in mathematical reasoning: reflections of a primary teacher
Herbert, Sandra, Vale, Colleen, Bragg, Leicha, Loong, Esther and Widjaja, Wanty 2016, Professional learning in mathematical reasoning: reflections of a primary teacher, in MERGA 2016: Proceedings of the 39th Conference for Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia: Opening Up Mathematics Education Research, MERGA, Adelaide, S.

Reasoning is an important aspect in the understanding and learning of mathematics. This paper reports on a case study presenting one Australian primary teacher’s reflections regarding the role played by a professional learning program in her developing understanding of mathematical reasoning. Examination of the transcripts of two interviews identified changes in her perceptions of mathematical reasoning by mapping interview responses against the Mathematical Reasoning Framework (Herbert et al., 2015). This change indicates that a well planned program of professional learning based on a demsonstration is efficacious in developing teachers’ understanding of mathematical reasoning.
