A chara,
To support the roll-out of the new maths curriculum for primary and special schools, the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), Oide, the newly-established professional learning support service, and the Teaching Council have come together to produce this collection of research and other resources related to maths.
We hope you find these resources helpful as you engage with the new curriculum.
All are available free of charge to registered teachers through the Teaching Council online library, the NCCA website or other identified sources.
The
Guide to the Teaching Council Online Library
can be found on the Teaching Council’s website.
Best wishes,
|

Title: The Knowledge Quartet: The Genesis and Application of a Framework for Analysing Mathematics Teaching and Deepening Teachers’ Mathematics Knowledge
Author: Rowland, T.
This paper describes a framework for mathematics lesson observation. The framework has application in research and in mathematics teaching development. A grounded theory approach to data analysis led to the emergence of the framework, with four broad dimensions, through which the mathematics-related knowledge of these teachers could be observed in practice.
