Abstract

Teachers’ ability in overcoming to student errors is significantly affected by teachers’ knowledge. Discussion and studies related to what knowledge teachers should possess have resulted in a theoretical framework. This article aims at describing teacher knowledge to responding student errors in Pythagorean Theorem proof using didactic mathematical knowledge approach. This research applies qualitative design. Five junior high school mathematics teachers in Indonesia participate in this study. Data were collected using written tests on teachers’ competence and structured interview. Based on the analysis towards participants’ responses, it can be concluded that teacher knowledge to overcome on student errors in Pythagoren Theorem proof is significantly affected by other knowledge components.
