| Research Abstract |
The study explores the nature of mathematical knowledge emerging during the activity in Japanese mathematics lesson. I show, as a result of the analysis of a concrete example, that the mathematical knowledge at stake in the lesson is formed as a result of the interaction with teacher's knowledge of different levels such as on the policy of institution, on the mathematical contents of textbook, on the method of interaction with students, etc. The result points out the necessity of understanding teacher's perception on the mathematical activity in order to better understand the state of knowledge during the activity. The study also identifies different states of knowledge taken into consideration in the descriptions of what is called "mathematical activity" in Japanese course of study and in previous research works in Japan.
