About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This interesting book gives a comprehensive overview of an innovative tool called lesson play in mathematics education. … this tool helps prospecting and practicing teachers to anticipate interactions or to think about questions and responses. … this book is not only well recommended because of its relevance to teachers, teacher educators or researchers in mathematics education. This book is also worth reading, because it presents an innovative and compelling perspective on the construct of lesson play, that is object of substantial research.” (Florian Schacht, zbMATH, Vol. 1272, 2013)Authors and Affiliations
