Abstract

The development, validation, and use of learning trajectories or progressions have become the focus of systematic research efforts in mathematics education in recent years as educational researchers, curriculum designers, and practitioners grapple with the challenge of aligning constructivist instruction with curriculum, assessment, and professional development. In this symposium we describe the journeys of making the fundamental knowledge of mathematics learning trajectories (LTs) accessible to inservice teachers for the purpose of strengthening inclusive instruction that leverages cognitive and cultural assets across four research projects.
