Abstract(s)
To succeed in mathematics, students must be able to reason mathematically in a fluent way.
To help students to develop this ability, teachers need to develop their own mathematical
reasoning, as well as their knowledge about reasoning. The generalizing process is a central
mathematical reasoning process and it consists of inferring statements about a set of objects
from the analysis of a subset of these objects (Jeannotte & Kieran, 2017). Although there are
many studies that address the ability to generalize in prospective teachers, there is a lack of
evidence about their knowledge of this reasoning process. In this communication, we aim to
discuss both the ability and the knowledge of generalizing process among prospective
primary teachers.
