SIMON, Pennsylvania State University Constructivist theory has been prominent in recent research on MATHEMATICS learning and has provided a basis for recent MATHEMATICS education refom1 efforts. Although constructivism has the potential to inform changes in MATHEMATICS teaching , it offers no particular vision of how MATHEMATICS should be taught; models of teaching based on constructivism are needed. Data are presented from a whole-class, constructivist teaching experiment in which problems of teach-ing practice required the teacher/researcher to explore the pedagogical implications of (constructivist) perspectives. The analysis of the data led to the development of a model of teacher decision making with respect to mathematical rasks.
