An article in a recent issue of The Mathematics Teacher* admonishes us to be sensible about the meaning we attempt to teach the pupils in our classes in elementary mathematics. It goes on seriously to question both the sense and the utility of teaching meaning, and still further to suggest that it can't be done anyhow.

In this chapter, the authors consider the purposeful design of two mathematics content courses (Content 1 and Content II) and one methods course (Methods) as a means of helping teacher candidates (TCs) learn about divergent formative assessment (DFA), which seeks to explore what students understand rather than only if they understand a concept or skill. The authors leverage the research of groupworthy tasks and the Rights of the Learner to describe three tasks they use to help TCs learn mathematics through problem-solving and to learn to teach through problem-solving. The chapter outlines three commonalities across the courses: 1) Shifting from implicit to explicit and informal to formal practices of DFA that reflects teaching through problem-solving; 2) Using DFAs to transition TCs' identities from learners to teacher-learners; and 3) Supporting TCs' self-assessment through DFAs in multiple ways.
