Description:
Using ethnographic fieldwork and discourse analysis, this study examined the interplay between teachers’ knowledge of proofs and classroom practices. Using data from six middle school teachers, the findings from this study show the teachers hold a dual understanding of proofs: one related to their education and one to their students’ education.
