  Subject-specific and subject-generic teaching observation instruments are important steps towards a common language for teaching across subjects. Previous research shows overlap between generic and subject-specific instruments, but it is unclear which teaching practices are rated similarly and differently. We compare how providing feedback during lessons and providing appropriate cognitive challenge are operationalized by one generic and one mathematics-specific teaching observation instrument and find similarities, but also crucial differences. When rating 32 Norwegian mathematics teachers’ instruction, three teachers’ instruction received significantly different ratings, providing examples where the manuals do not share a common language of instruction. Such precise knowledge of how mathematics-specific and general observation instruments differ helps researchers, teacher professional developers, and teacher evaluators to interpret results from observation instruments.
