Abstract

This report describes prospective teachers’ interpretations of the mathematical practices described in the Common Core State Standards. Thirty-five prospective middle school teachers used Xtranormal, an online video scripting program, to create and critique video-based lesson plays based on the mathematical practices listed in the Standards. The research questions examine the degree of fidelity between the prospective teachers’ interpretations of the intent of each practice and those of the wider mathematics education community. Implications for teacher education courses are discussed.
