Preparing Teachers for Handling Students’ Mathematical Communication: Gathering Knowledge and Building Tools

摘要: The main thesis of this chapter is that to prepare teachers their new role in the reformed mathematics classroom, we must first understand better mechanisms interactions supposed take place these classrooms. Of particular interest are instances students’ collective problem-solving. student-to-student classroom highly recommended for potential promote learning, but at present stage it not clear what should be teacher promoting realization potential. How investigated, tools could used purpose and impact insights thus gained can have on decisions about optimal directions teachers’ preparation focus discussion follows.
