Abstract
In the Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (NCTM 1991), the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has explicated what a teacher needs to know and be able to do to teach mathematics in the spirit of reform. Teachers' current knowledge of mathematics and mathematics pedagogy may not be adequate to meet the new instructional goals. Toward this end, the Professional Teaching Standards document includes six standards that are intended to guide the preparation, support, and career development of teachers. This article focuses on one of these standards—Standard 4: Knowing Mathematical Pedagogy—which is integral to the effective teaching of mathematics.
