THE KNOWLEDGE QUARTET: A tool FORDEVELOPING mathematics TEACHINGTim RowlandFaculty of Education, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 2PH, paper draws on videotapes of mathematics lessons prepared and conducted bypre-service elementary teachers towards the end of their initial training. Agrounded theory approach to data analysis led to the identification of a knowledgequartet , with four broad dimensions, through which the mathematics -relatedknowledge of these beginning teachers could be observed in practice. We term thefour units: foundation, transformation, connection and contingency. This paperdescribes how each of these units is characterised, and analyses a fragment of oneof the videotaped lessons, showing how each dimension of the quartet can beidentified in the lesson. We claim that the quartet can be used as a framework forlesson observation and for mathematics teaching seven categories of teacher KNOWLEDGE identified in the seminal work of LeeShulman include three with an explicit focus on content KNOWLEDGE : subjectmatter KNOWLEDGE , pedagogical content KNOWLEDGE and curricular matter KNOWLEDGE (SMK) is KNOWLEDGE of the content of the discipline perse (Shulman, 1986, p.)
