            For more than 20 years, my research with colleagues in and beyond the UK has focused on th
            knowledge of mathematics teachers. Since 2002 this research ´entered the classroom´, to ob

            teachers apply what they know in the act of teaching mathematics. The result was a theoret
            for analysing, discussing and developing mathematics teaching. In 2003 we named this frame
            Knowledge Quartet (KQ). In this presentation I shall describe how the KQ emerged from obse

            mathematics teaching, and how in the following years the scope of the KQ has been extended
            in English elementary classrooms to teaching in secondary schools and universities. An exc

            development has been the application of the KQ to the teaching of other disciplines, such 
            technology and English.
