Abstract

This is the first of two blogs centered on effective approximations of practice in mathematics teacher education. In a 2024 position statement on linking mathematics education research and practice, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) states that “research should identify high-leverage, effective, equitable mathematics practices shared in useful, actionable ways” (NCTM, 2024). In this blog, we argue that approximations of practice offer a promising approach to addressing the NCTM’s call by highlighting frameworks that might form a useful starting point and drawing attention to the potential areas of tension that will need to be addressed.
