MasterClass in Mathematics Education: International Perspectives on Teaching and Learning [Hardcover]

MasterClass in Mathematics Educationprovides accessible links between theory and practice and encourages readers to reflect on their own understanding of their teaching context.

Each chapter, written by an internationally respected authority, explores the key concepts within the selected area of the field, drawing directly on published research to encourage readers to reflect on the content, ideas and ongoing debates. Using international case studies, each chapter will encourage readers to think about ways that the teaching and learning of mathematics reflect different cultural traditions and expectations and enable them to evaluate effective strategies for their own contexts.
