About the Book

How Chinese Teach Mathematics and Improve Teaching builds upon existing studies to examine mathematics classroom instruction in China. It combines contributions from Chinese scholars with commentary from key Western scholars to offer a truly systematic examination of some important and distinctive features of mathematics classroom instruction. Viewing classroom instruction as part of teachers’ instructional practices, this book goes beyond teachers’ in-classroom instructional practice by also examining Chinese teachers’ approaches and practices in developing and improving teaching. Through this unique approach, How Chinese Teach Mathematics and Improve Teaching expands and unpacks the otherwise fragmented knowledge about Chinese practices in developing and carrying out mathematics classroom instruction.

Review :
'This book sets out to explain a tradition of teaching and improving teaching that will be unfamiliar to most of its readers. However, the surprising and pleasing outcome is that by doing so, it offers significant new insights into mathematics teaching in Western countries.' - Kaye Stacey, Foundation Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Melbourne, Australia "This book challenges us to examine teaching and to make a commitment to improve teaching every day in every classroom in the U.S., as well as other countries of the world. Current and future students deserve our very best effort to engage them in exploring mathematics for its beauty, its utility, and its place in the lives of people worldwide." —Glenda Lappan, University Distinguished Professor, Michigan State University
