Abstract
This paper outlines the theoretical model of Teaching for Abstraction developed by the authors over the last ten years. We begin with the seminal work of Richard Skemp and then trace out developments through research into rates of change and derivative, angles, and percentages as a multiplicative relationship. The paper concludes with a discussion of future directions of the theory in light of professional development models and other theoretical perspectives.
