Abstract
A group of prospective mathematics teachers was asked to imagine a conversation with a student centered on a particular proof regarding odd/even functions and produce a script of this imagined dialog. These scripts provided insights into the script-writers' mathematical knowledge as well as insights into what they perceive as potential difficulties for their students. The paper focuses on the script-writers' understandings of derivative and of even/odd functions.
