Foreword
As series editors, we hold the topic of international comparative studies near and dear to our hearts. We have both worked in and with education systems in different countries. Jinfa Cai, in particular, has studied mathematics education in China and the United States extensively (Cai, Ding, & Wang, 2014; Cai, Mok, Reedy, & Stacey, 2016). These experiences have taught us that the often subtle differences in curricular structure, relationship between teacher and student, classroom instruction, and cultural attitudes towards mathematics can together make a profound difference in patterns of learning behavior and, of course, in the outcomes of students’
