This study examined the potential teaching strategies of prospective elementary teachers and their perceptions of the procedural/conceptual nature of examples. Fifty-four prospective teachers participated in this study, engaging in two-phase tasks. Analysis of data indicated that:(a) Overall, the participants’ perceptions were geared toward putting emphasis on conceptual understanding rather than procedural understanding; but(b) Generally, procedure-oriented strategies were more frequently incorporated in participants’ potential teaching plans. This implied that participants’ preconceived ideas regarding math examples were not always reliable indicators of their potential teaching strategies. Implications and suggestions for mathematics teacher preparation are discussed.

Implications and suggestions for mathematics teacher preparation are discussed.
