Description:
This study examines the argumentation that occurred within an elementary mathematics content course for preservice teachers (PSTs) and shares how argumentation helped PSTs make sense of important mathematical concepts. Moreover, it demonstrates the experiences that these PSTs had as they worked on learning through mathematical argumentation.
