Understanding Lesson Study for Mathematics : A Practical Guide for Improving Teaching and Learning (Paperback)

This hands-on introduction shows you how to improve learning through a lesson study approach. Synthesising the latest research, expert authors offer practical advice for teachers who want to begin using lesson study as well those looking to improve current practice. Ten chapters each focus on a lesson in a key area of the curriculum, including fractions, proportional relationships, shape, geometry, algebra and dialogic reasoning. Each provides background to the lesson, an outline of key features, a description of the experience of teaching the lesson, and post-lesson discussion and reflections. Crucially, each chapter also includes a detailed lesson plan with links to helpful resources.
