What does it mean to know mathematics? How does meaning in mathematics education connect to common sense or to the meaning of mathematics itself? How are meanings constructed and communicated and what are the dilemmas related to these processes? There are many answers to these questions, some of which might appear to be contradictory. Thus understanding the complexity of meaning in mathematics education is a matter of huge importance. There are twin directions in which discussions have developed—theoretical and practical—and this book seeks to move the debate forward along both dimensions while seeking to relate them where appropriate. A discussion of meaning can start from a theoretical examination of mathematics and how mathematicians over time have made sense of their work. However, from a more practical perspective, anybody involved in teaching mathematics is faced with the need to orchestrate the myriad of meanings derived from multiple sources that students develop of mathematical knowledge. This book presents a wide variety of theoretical reflections and research results about meaning in mathematics and mathematics education based on long-term and collective reflection by the group of authors as a whole. It is the outcome of the work of the BACOMET (BAsic COmponents of Mathematics Education for Teachers) group who spent several years deliberating on this topic. The ten chapters in this book, both separately and together, provide a substantial contribution to clarifying the complex issue of meaning in mathematics education. This book is of interest to researchers in mathematics education, graduate students of mathematics education, under graduate students in mathematics, secondary mathematics teachers and primary teachers with an interest in mathematics.

Lesson study is a professional development process that teachers engage in to systematically examine their practice, with the goal of becoming more effective. Originating in Japan, lesson study has gained significant momentum in the mathematics education community in recent years. As a process for professional development, lesson study became highly visible when it was proposed as a means of supporting the common practice of promoting better teaching by disseminating documents like standards, benchmarks and nationally validated curricula. While the body of knowledge about lesson study is growing, it remains somewhat elusive and composed of discrete research endeavors. As a new research area there is no coherent knowledge base yet. This book will contribute to the field bringing the work of researchers and practitioners together to create a resource for extant work. This book describes several aspects of Lesson Study, amongst others: it gives an historical overview of the concept, it addresses issues related to learning and teaching mathematics, it looks at the role of the teacher in the process. The last two sections of the book look at how lesson Study can be used with preservice mathematics teachers and at university mathematics methods teaching.

Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education is a unique sourcebook which has been crafted from a collection of classic tasks, extracts and texts that have been quoted repeatedly in mathematics education literature. Linked together by the editors'' narrative, the book provides a fascinating examination of key constructs in mathematics education. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines ''thinking about the learner'' and includes the following constructs: constructivisms, activity theory and didactics. Beginning with a chapter dedicated to the classic tasks used by researchers to ''probe'' learners'' understanding, readers are encouraged to try these theories themselves with learners and be knowledgeable when they encounter them in other writing. The second part focuses on ''thinking and teaching'' and includes issues of getting started, keeping going and bringing to a conclusion. Bringing together writing from Balacheff, Brousseau, Bruner, Cobb, Comfrey, Freudenthal, Greeno, Marton, Piaget, Schon, Vygotsky and many others, this unique examination of constructs in mathematics education will be a valuable resource for anyone reading literature related to learning mathematics be they a teacher, adviser or a student on a masters or PhD course.

The idea of the ICMI Study 13 is outlined as follows: Education in any social environment is influenced in many ways by the traditions of these environments. This study brings together leading experts to research and report on mathematics education in a global context. Mathematics education faces a split phenomenon of difference and correspondence. A study attempting a comparison between mathematics education in different traditions will be helpful to understanding this phenomenon.

This is the first comprehensive International Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education, covering a wide spectrum of epochs and civilizations, countries and cultures. Until now, much of the research into the rich and varied history of mathematics education has remained inaccessible to the vast majority of scholars, not least because it has been written in the language, and for readers, of an individual country. And yet a historical overview, however brief, has become an indispensable element of nearly every dissertation and scholarly article. This handbook provides, for the first time, a comprehensive and systematic aid for researchers around the world in finding the information they need about historical developments in mathematics education, not only in their own countries, but globally as well. Although written primarily for mathematics educators, this handbook will also be of interest to researchers of the history of education in general, as well as specialists in cultural and even social history.

The frame of assessment that this book sets for itself is strictly defined: to disentangle and follow the trends in mathematical education at the primary and middle school levels in China from 1860 to 1970, with particular emphasis on developments undertaken by the Communist government. The documentation that supports this effort is equally specific—it includes syllabi, textbook lists, subject scope descriptions and subject sequences, sample lesson plans, and examinations. But in addition to fulfilling this program, the book explicitly explores several implications of much wider import. For one, since modern technology is solidly based on mathematics, an index to the development of China's technical skills can be inferred from an examination of mathematical education over the last decades, and some insight into China's potential in the next generation can be gained by studying the way mathematics is being taught to the primary and middle school pupils of today. For another, the book examines the effects of Western mathematical concepts and teaching methods—imported mainly from America during the Republican and Kuomintang periods, and from Russia during the early Communist period—on the ancient mathematical tradition embedded in Chinese culture. The book also cites the lessons that the Chinese experience in this educational area may have for other developing countries. Among the other subjects examined are the present effects of the "Great Cultural Revolution" on mathematics instruction and the extent to which courses in "pure" mathematics may have been diluted or tinctured by the introduction of political indoctrination; the influence of Soviet models on the establishment of "Olympiad" competitions to seek out mathematical talent and of special schools for students with such talent; the ways in which "practical applications" are being introduced into mathematics teaaching; the efforts the Chinese have made to solve their teacher shorta≥ and the extent to which psychological processes of mathematics learning are being considered in developing programs of instruction.
