Abstract
- Mathematical reasoning features in curriculum documents around the world, but is understood and enacted poorly by teachers in classrooms. We explore teachers' noticing of reasoning during observed lessons. Two teams of primary teachers in Canada and Australia worked to plan, deliver, and observe lessons intended to include reasoning. They observed each other teaching a lesson that was planned with the assistance of a researcher, and later, a researcher observed each post-lesson discussion. Given the reported benefits of teachers' noticing of reasoning during peer-observed lessons, targeted professional learning support is required to further enact teachers' peer discourse to facilitate mathematical reasoning.
