Using the latest research, this book provides an insight into how learning in mathematics can be improved through a lesson study approach. This highly-practical resource explores the research and theory that underpins lesson study, and shows the significant impact it can have on teacher development. Divided into ten accessible main chapters which focus in depth on an individual mathematics lesson, each chapter provides research and background to the lesson, an outline of key features, a detailed description and analysis of the lesson in practice, post-lesson discussions and reflections which generalise from the experience, as well as links to helpful resources. Some of the key topics explored include: Fractions; Proportional relationships; Probability and statistics Geometry; Modelling Algebra; and Dialogic reasoning Improving Mathematics Teaching through Lesson Study is the perfect resource for all mathematics teachers trainee teachers, and professional developers who are looking to develop the use of lesson study in their own practice or for those simply seeking new inspiring ideas for the mathematics classroom.
It is a model approach for improvement of teacher education across the globe. This book focuses on mathematics education, teacher education, and curriculum implementation and reforms.
This book is the first comprehensive look at the system and process of lesson study in Japan.
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 volume brings the research on lesson study together from around the world. Here is what we already know and here is the way forward for research and practice informed by research.
Taking teams beyond understanding how to get started, the Guide provides a resource to use across many cycles and years to continually deepen lesson study practice.
This book also illustrates several projects related to lesson study in other countries.
However, teachers have difficulties developing it in the classrooms. This book is the result of lesson studies over the past 50 years.
