Understanding and Improving Mathematics Teaching

This book brings together a range of theoretical and empirical advances in understanding the nature and growth of mathematics teaching and tells a coherent story that will generate new insights from integrating past, current and future lines of research. A unique feature of this book is the deliberate development of the content by the chapter authors. New insights are provided in the same way that insights are often gained, namely by stepping back and considering a body of work as a whole with different aspects informing each other. This book provides a great resource to mathematics education researchers interested in teaching, researchers of teaching across education disciplines, mathematics education researchers across areas of interest, and educators interested in improving mathematics teaching and learning, more generally.
