Abstract	The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the impact of individualized coaching on classroom teachers' mathematics teaching, specifically in the area of fractions. Participants took a pretest to determine their mathematical background knowledge, submitted a video tape of their teaching, and participated in three coaching cycles with an experienced classroom teacher who was also the researcher. The study was conducted using case analysis. Interview transcriptions and coaching cycles were coded using a grounded theory approach. At the end of the cycles the participants took a post test and submitted an additional video tape of their teaching. Each participant benefited from the coaching cycles. Impact was made in the areas of content knowledge, mathematical pedagogy, and teaching process skills.
