Distinct mathematics teaching practices: Patterns of argumentation

Publication at Faculty of Education |

Abstract

This analysis of several mathematics lessons in two teachers' classrooms looks for characteristic patterns of argumentation and justification, specifically at the presence and types of warrants required, provided, and accepted - in the social environment of the classrooms - for mathematical claims. A question is posed whether these could be useful as descriptors of distinct justification-related teaching practices.
