This year (2011-2012), I am working on a project related to mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT) in kindergarten.

As a help, I developed an observation scheme based on e.g. the tasks of teaching that Deborah Ball and her colleagues developed in their studies of MKT in the U.S., and I also used Alan Bishop’s categories of fundamental mathematical activities. Below is the observation scheme in the original Norwegian version:
