Abstract
This paper argues that improvisation is a common feature of expert mathematics teaching, but that the processes involved remain under-explored by the research community. Drawing on ideas from organisational theorists and improvisational theatre practitioners as well as educational writers, it proposes a framework for identifying and analysing the practice of improvisation in the secondary mathematics classroom. It then goes on to place a more clearly defined concept of classroom improvisation within a wider understanding of teacher expertise and suggests future directions of study.
