'I Know You Have to Put Down a Zero, But I'm Not Sure Why': Exploring the Link Between Pre-Service Teachers' Content and Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Authors: Maher Nicole, Muir Tracey
This article investigates pre-service teachers' mathematical content knowledge and their ability to interpret students' responses to a multi-digit multiplication task and make subsequent appropriate teaching decisions. It was found that the pre-service teachers in the study had an instrumental understanding of the long multiplication process that impacted on their ability to both recognise and address students' mathematical errors.

How Do They Measure Up? Primary Pre-service Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge of Area and Perimeter
Authors: Livy Sharyn, Muir Tracey, Maher Nicole
The present article reports on the results of three different investigations into pre-service teachers’ understanding of the mathematical concepts of area and perimeter. The results indicated that many pre-service teachers across the cohorts had a procedural understanding of area and perimeter, displayed similar misconceptions to their student counterparts, and were limited in their ability to demonstrate examples of the mathematics knowledge required to teach these topics.
