Specialized Knowledge of One Primary Mathematics Teacher Teaching Rational Numbers

We describe the specialized knowledge of an expert Primary Education math teacher while teaching the topic of rational numbers to students of 11-12 years old. Using a category system of the subdomains of the Mathematics Teacher's Specialized Knowledge model (MTSK), a content analysis of the transcripts of 21 classes taught was performed. This allowed us to appreciate the knowledge expressed by the teacher in his practice, especially in three subdomains: mathematical content knowledge, characteristics of the learning of mathematics, and knowledge of mathematics teaching.
