“…She intended to employ activities that would lead naturally to the children's understanding, and she suggested that the children would use their own strategies, rather than a stated procedure. Berenson et al's (1997) study had suggested that prospective teachers, who focus on teaching procedures, are those who have a limited understanding and overreliance on procedures. Alan did not appear to have limited understanding, but his accurate use of the formulae did appear as strength.…”

“…Similarly, research has shown thatprospective teachers rely on procedures in other areas of mathematics, such as functions [3] and division [4]. The accepted importance ofsubject knowledge would suggest that a teacher, with limited understanding of the mathematical concepts, would not be effective in developing children's understanding for a topic.Studies, such as [5], have found that many prospective teachers represented the topic of area through the demonstration of procedures and the use of formulae,rather than focusing on activities that would support understanding. What we do not knowiswhether these were the prospective teachers who, themselves, had limited understanding.…”
