We are in an interesting historical moment in mathematics teacher education. On the one and, there is greater realization within our field of the connections between systems of power and mathematics (O'Neil, 2016). We are starting to acknowledge how mathematics education can be viewed as dehumanizing for both students and teachers as well as what might constitute rehumanizing practices (Gutiérrez, in press). Our professional organizations are calling for teachers to move beyond simplistic notions of equity to understand these power dimensions and challenge the system on behalf of (and in community with) Black,1 Indigenous,2 and Latinx3 students in particular

Este artigo tem o objetivo de discutir legitimidades matemáticas para responder a certos questionamentos sobre a “matemática do professor de matemática” ser considerada um modo de pensar a matemática na formação de professores. Para isso, abordamos as noções de matemática do professor de matemática, matemática do matemático e atividade matemática, na ótica do Modelo dos Campos Semânticos, por meio de comentários hipotéticos sobre a realização de uma proposta de atividade, de cunho histórico, envolvendo os números irracionais. Para concluir, argumentamos sobre a caracterização de atividade matemática ser uma possibilidade de compreender o compartilhamento de legitimidades entre a matemática praticada pelos professores de matemática e a matemática praticada por matemáticos.This paper aims to discuss mathematical legitimacies as an answer to some questions about “mathematics of the mathematics teacher” as a way to think the mathematics in the mathematics teacher education. In this discussion, we approach the notions of mathematics of the mathematics teacher, mathematics of the mathematician and mathematical activity according to the Model of Semantics Fields, through hypothetical comments about the realization of a task, based on history of mathematics, involving irrational numbers. In conclusion, we argue about the possibility to consider the characterization of mathematical activity as a way of understanding the sharing of legitimacies between mathematics practiced by mathematics teachers and mathematics practiced by mathematicians.
