This paper aims to examine the potential of video-catalysed reflective practice for supporting ongoing teacher professional learning in numeracy. Specifically, the authors will explore the effectiveness of two different formats of video-based professional learning programmes: the first involving one teacher and one researcher and the second two teachers and two researchers, both of which took place over relatively short periods of time. The findings reveal that the participants found video-stimulated recall a powerful medium for revealing aspects of their practice they had not previously considered.
