Specialised Knowledge for Teaching Geometry in a Primary Education Class: Analysis from the Knowledge Mobilized by a Teacher and the Knowledge Evoked in the Researcher

Deepening the specialised knowledge of mathematics teachers is necessary for teaching, and it is one of our concerns as researchers; accordingly, in this study we analyze the knowledge that a teacher mobilizes when giving a first lesson on geometry to a class of fifth year of primary education at a...
