Abstract

Students’ mathematical performances can be affected by the ways of working that are supported in the classrooms in which they study. The different tools and representations through which they are encouraged to express their mathematical knowledge enable and disable different learners in different ways, especially if teachers have difficulty in feeling mathematics in ways that are congruent with their students’ strategies (Fernandes and Healy, 2020). Vignettes offer ways of representing both the mathematical strategies that emerge in classroom practices – be they typical or atypical – and the pedagogical framing of such activity, providing virtual experiences of different classrooms realities through which prospective and practicing teachers can reflect upon mathematics and its teaching (Buchbinder, & Kuntze, 2018). Part of the coReflect@maths project involves the design of vignettes that encourage teachers to focus on the challenge of developing inclusive pedagogies, to explore how different ways of feeling and doing mathematics can enrich and expand learning opportunities, and to notice how normative classroom expectations rather than individual characteristics can contribute to the marginalisation of particular groups of students. The poster displays an example vignettes and conference participants are invited via QR code to exchange responses with the authors.
