The contribution focuses on an educational tool called Concept Cartoons and the possibilities to use the tool in teacher education. It perceives Concept Cartoons as educational vignettes and show how they can be incorporated into mathematics content courses to help assessing future primary school teachers’ knowledge on topics related to the primary school curriculum. The paper introduces one of the Concept Cartoons created on the topic of divisibility and a qualitative empirical study conducted with 67 future primary school teachers within a mathematics content course. The aim of the presented study is to observe and investigate the nature of knowledge displayed in written data collected via the Concept Cartoon. The results of the study confirm the potential that educational vignettes such as Concept Cartoons have in future primary school teacher education.
