MasterClass in Mathematics Education provides accessible links between theory and practice and encourages readers to reflect on their own understanding of their teaching context. Each chapter, written by an internationally respected authority, explores the key concepts within the selected area of the field, drawing directly on published research to encourage readers to reflect on the content, ideas and ongoing debates. Using international case studies, each chapter will encourage readers to think about ways that the teaching and learning of mathematics reflect different cultural traditions and expectations and enable them to evaluate effective strategies for their own contexts.

This volume constitutes a Masters-level introduction to research on mathematics education, as it is done in the UK and the “Anglosphere” at large. Each of the 17 chapters is written by distinguished scholars, and provides a personal and stringent overview of a specific research theme, based on a few carefully chosen references.

A comprehensive introduction to mathematics education, ensuring a solid foundation for supporting effective learning and teaching.
Provides an accessible guide to current practice and research in the field of mathematics education
In a world where education has sometimes been reduced to 'delivering' the curriculum against prescribed pedagogies, it is time for teachers to reclaim professional knowledge in ways which reflect both the pragmatics of the classroom and the intellectual stimulus of enquiry in understanding effective teaching and learning. The MasterClass series takes a practical approach to teaching and learning but seeks to support readers to move beyond effective classroom practice and to extend their understanding in accessible and lively ways. Each volume includes case studies, classroom examples, research and reference to critical texts and will challenge readers to develop practice in ways which reflect teachers' informed professional voice.
