Problem Solving in Mathematics Instruction and Teacher Professional Development

Recent research in problem solving has shifted its focus to actual classroom implementation and what is really going on during problem solving when it is used regularly in classroom. This book seeks to stay on top of that trend by approaching diverse aspe

Problem Solving in Mathematics Instruction and Teacher Professional Development

Research in Mathematics Education Series Editors: Jinfa Cai, Newark, DE, USA James A. Middleton, Tempe, AZ, USA

This series is designed to produce thematic volumes, allowing researchers to access numerous studies on a theme in a single, peer-reviewed source. Our intent for this series is to publish the latest research in the field in a timely fashion. This design is particularly geared toward highlighting the work of promising graduate students and junior faculty working in conjunction with senior scholars. The audience for this monograph series consists of those in the intersection between researchers and mathematics education leaders—people who need the highest quality research, methodological rigor, and potentially transformative implications ready at hand to help them make decisions regarding the improvement of teaching, learning, policy, and practice. With this vision, our mission of this book series is: 1. To support the sharing of critical research findings among members of the mathematics education community; 2. To support graduate students and junior faculty and induct them into the research community by pairing them with senior faculty in the production of the highest quality peer-reviewed research papers; and 3. To support the usefulness and widespread adoption of research-based innovation. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/13030
