Quantitative reasoning’s emergence as a foundation for students’ mathematical development has generated a need for supporting teachers’ capacity to teach for such reasoning. Complicating the matter, teachers’ extant meanings can be incompatible with or create obstacles in their reasoning quantitatively. In this talk, I discuss a meanings perspective on working with prospective and practicing teachers in order to honor their extant meanings while supporting their constructing meanings that foreground quantitative reasoning. This meanings perspective, referred to as competing meanings, involves a problematization of extant meanings, the construction of alternative meanings, and a critical comparison of each. I present the competing meanings perspective and informing theories, and I draw on my research team's empirical work to provide tangible and research-based examples of the competing meanings perspective.
