Abstract(s)

Like Zazkis and Mamolo (2011), we uphold the premise that a solid knowledge of advanced mathematics is needed for effective teaching of mathematics. With that in mind, we are interested in discussing the nature of horizon content knowledge, as used within the mathematical knowledge for teaching framework (Ball, Thames & Phelps, 2008)Mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) continues to generate a huge number of papers and all kinds of praise and criticism in scientific settings. Far from adding to this work, our aim is to rescue the concept of horizon content knowledge and re-conceptualise it.
