To promote students’ acquisition of language required for mathematical learning, the employment of language-supporting scaffolding strategies (Smit, 2013) has proven to be effective. So far, little is known about how this teaching approach can be upscaled in educational practice. This study investigates the features of a professional development programme focused on teachers’ scaffolding of students’ mathematical language. In design-based implementation research seven professional development sessions for two professional learning communities in different parts of the Netherlands (consisting of 5 and 10 teachers) were shaped and enacted by four researchers-educators. Over time, all participants (researchers, educator, and teachers) collaboratively identified both process and product features of the professional development programme. Besides insights into these features, this study also yielded professionalized language-oriented primary teachers and a course programme that these teachers and others can employ to further upscale the language-oriented approach in primary mathematics classrooms.

Understanding of, and reasoning about, descriptions of relations between quantities is an important aspect of mathematical learning and essential for anyone to function in society. Performing, guiding, and designing activities to support functional thinking is currently not part of the curriculum neither in primary education nor teacher education in the Netherlands. Activities for both primary education and teacher education are developed as part of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership FunThink. This poster shows how two preservice teachers translate activities on functional thinking from teacher education to practice. We concluded that these preservice teachers translate activities on functional thinking by mimicking most of the elements of the teacher education activity. The preservice teachers also make slight adaptations to the activity based on their own beliefs and interpretation of the activity and the perceived ability of their students.
