"This book, resulting from the 19th ICMI Study, brings together a variety of viewpoints on issues such as : (1) the potential role of reasoning and proof in deepening mathematical understanding in the classroom as it does in mathematical practice, (2) the developmental nature of mathematical reasoning and proof in teaching and learning from the earliest grades, and (3) the development of suitable curriculum materials and teacher education programs to support the teaching of proof and proving."

"This book explores the connection between the ways people speak in mathematics classrooms and their opportunities to learn mathematics. The words spoken, heard, written and read in mathematics classrooms shape students’ sense of what mathematics is and of what people can do with mathematics. The authors employ multiple perspectives to consider the means for transformative action with respect to increasing opportunities for traditionally marginalized students to form mathematical identities that resonate with their cultural, social, linguistic, and political beings."

"They demonstrate that mathematics education is politics, they investigate borderland positions, they address the nexus of mathematics, education, and power, and they explore educational possibilities. Mathematics education is not a free enterprise. It is carried on behind bars created by economic, political, and social demands. This cage might not be as magnificent as that in Tagore?s fable. But it is strong. Opening the cage is a critical and political challenge, and we may be surprised to see what emerges."

"The main objective of this review is to celebrate and recognise significant findings, highlight relationships between research, identify themes, and forecast further research directions. Some of the issues explored in the period covered by this volume clearly resonate with questions and concerns particularly pertinent to the changing educational environment. "

"This volume gathers together twenty major chapters that tackle a variety of issues associated with equity in mathematics education along the dimensions of gender, culture, curriculum diversity, and matters of a biological nature. "

"CRYSTAL?Alberta was established to research ways to improve students? understanding and reasoning in science and mathematics. To accomplish this goal, faculty members in Education, Science, and Engineering, as well as school teachers joined forces to produce a resource bank of innovative and tested instructional materials that are transforming teaching in the K-12 classroom. Many of the instructional materials cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and explore contemporary topics such as global climate change and the spread of the West Nile virus. Combined with an emphasis on the use of visualizations, the instructional materials improve students? engagement with science and mathematics. "
