Abstract	This paper contributes to research in responsive teaching in a context of collaborative discussion using video stimulated recall (VSR) techniques. The aim was to gain deeper understanding of the kinds of teachers' reflective awareness that prompts changes (or lack of change) in responsive primary mathematics teaching. Using a case study methodology, I analysed the VSR interviews of two teachers who demonstrated different patterns of changes in responsive teaching. The findings revealed two distinct and complementary forms of evidence of states of awareness and reflections that support change in responsive teaching practices: (a) teachers acknowledging limitations of their practice; and (b) teachers expanding repertoires of tasks and example spaces. These two forms of evidence provide insights into ways of supporting primary mathematics teaching in the context of VSR techniques. The implication of these findings is that for effective use of VSR interviews, attention should be geared towards getting a teacher to acknowledge the limitations of her practice, and through reflection-oriented questions to encourage the teacher to expand task and example space to respond to the limitations noted within the teacher's practice.
