Lesson play is a novel construct in research and teachers' professional development in mathematics education. Lesson play refers to a lesson or part of a lesson presented in dialogue form-inspired in part by Lakatos's evocative Proofs and Refutations-featuring imagined interactions between a teacher and her/his students. We have been using and refining our use of this tool for a number of years and using it in a variety of situations involving mathematics thinking and learning. The goal of this proposed book is to offer a comprehensive survey of the affordances of the tool, the results of our studies-particularly in the area of pre-service teacher education, and the reasons that the tool offers such productive possibilities for both researchers and teacher educators.

The provocative contributions to Opening the Research Text reflect current interest in the political and cultural underpinnings of mathematics education. With 22 contributors including both established researchers and newcomers, this innovative research-oriented volume challenges traditional theories and "comforting narratives" of pedagogy through realistic, non-linear scenarios reflecting the ambiguities and power relationships of the classroom. By alternating research chapters with inventive responses (including poetry, concept mapping, graphic novel, and collage), the editors present theoretical as well as practice-based possibilities in areas as diverse as arts-based inquiry and social justice pedagogy, all in relation to mathematics education. These multiple calls to action will inspire readers to:

• Rethink the accessibility and impact of their classroom work.
• Consider the value of poststructuralist strategies to curriculum theory.
• Explore alternate research paradigms in mathematics education.
• Trace the intersections of power, economics and mathematics.
• Critically examine the discourse of school mathematics and policy documents.
• Engage in self-study, writing their own stories of insight and in(ter)vention.

Opening the Research Text asks teachers, researchers and scholars to add to the dialogue that is transforming the mathematics education field, and leads new educators toward insights into their careers and the students and communities they serve. Additionally, the book can be a primary graduate or supplementary undergraduate text in education ormathematics education.

The book is centered on how major curriculum reform shapes mathematics and the professional practices of teachers. This book documents in real time the implementation of a major government numeracy programme and its receipt by trainee and new teachers. It documents the complete life span of that initiative. The account is targeted at an international readership in terms of how curriculum reform more generally shapes mathematics in schools and the practices of teachers. A key dimension of the book is an alternative view of mathematics education research in which the task of teacher development is understood at policy level where large numbers of teachers were interviewed to assess how policies were being processed through individuals. The book provides an easy and accessible commentary utilising contemporary theory to describe how such teachers reconcile their personal aspirations with the external demands they encounter in negotiating their identities as professional teachers.

A Volume in International Perspectives on Mathematics Education - Cognition, Equity & SocietySeries Editor Bharath Sriraman, The University of Montana and Lyn English, Queensland University of TechnologyOver the past two decades, the theoretical interests of mathematics educators have changed substantially-as any brief look at the titles and abstracts ofarticles shows. Largely through the work of Paul Cobb and his various collaborators, mathematics educators came to be attuned to the intricaterelationship between individual and the social configuration of which she or he is part. That is, this body of work, running alongside more traditionalconstructivist and psychological approaches, showed that what happens at the collective level in a classroom both constrains and affords opportunitiesfor what individuals do (their practices). Increasingly, researchers focused on the mediational role of sociomathematical norms and how these emergedfrom the enacted lessons.A second major shift in mathematical theorizing occurred during the past decade: there is an increasing focus on the embodied and bodilymanifestation of mathematical knowing (e.g., Lakoff & N ez, 2000). Mathematics educators now working from this perspective have come to theirposition from quite different bodies of literatures: for some, linguistic concerns and mathematics as material praxis lay at the origin for their concerns;others came to their position through the literature on the situated nature of cognition; and yet another line of thinking emerged from the work onembodiment that Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela advanced. Whatever the historical origins of their thinking, mathematics educators takingan embodiment perspective presuppose that it is of little use to think of mathematical knowing in terms of transcendental concepts somehow recordedin the brain, but rather, that we need to conceptual knowing as mediated by the human body, which, because of its senses, is at the origin of sense.One of the question seldom asked is how the two perspectives, one that focuses on the bodily, embodied nature of mathematical cognition and theother that focuses on its social nature, can be thought together. This edited volume situates itself at the intersection of theoretical and focal concerns ofboth of these lines of work. In all chapters, the current culture both at the classroom and at the societal level comes to be expressed and providesopportunities for expressing oneself in particular ways; and these expressions always are bodily expressions of body-minds. As a collective, thechapters focus on mathematical knowledge as an aspect or attribute of mathematical performance; that is, mathematical knowing is in the doing ratherthan attributable to some mental substrate structured in particular ways as conceived by conceptual change theorists or traditional cognitivepsychologists. The collection as a whole shows readers important aspects of mathematical cognition that are produced and observable at the interfacebetween the body (both human and those of inherently material] inscriptions) and culture. Drawing on cultural-historical activity theory, the editordevelops an integrative perspective that serves as a background to a narrative that runs through and pulls together the book into an integrated whole.

Educational equity and quality are not only research issues which cut across different disciplines but are major determinants of socio-economic and human development in both industrial and developing countries. The status and role of mathematics, a subject which has long enjoyed a privileged status in school curricula worldwide due to its perceived role in science and technology, render equity and quality in mathematics education at the heart of human development. This is reflected by governments' relatively large investments in improving the quality of mathematics education and extending it to marginalized and underprivileged groups.

The purpose of Toward Equity in Quality in Mathematics Education is four-fold. First, the book examines the constructs of equity and quality and their interdependence from different perspectives. Second, it develops a conceptual framework for studying and analyzing the two constructs. Third, it examines, consolidates, and re-structures the literature on equity and quality in mathematics education. Finally, using data from TIMSS 2003, the book investigates the within and across country impact of the different equity-related factors on mathematics achievement in a sample of countries representative of worldwide geographical and cultural regions.

Towards Equity in Quality in Mathematics Education uses a multi-dimensional conceptual framework to study and analyze issues in equity and quality. The framework consists of five perspectives hypothesized as determinants of equity in quality in mathematics education: Mathematical, societal, educational, ideological, and genetic. The framework can be thought of as a pyramid with mathematics as its base and the societal, educational, ideological, and genetic perspectives as its faces. Thus, each point within this pyramid represents a unique equity in quality situation i.e. with different coordinates with respect to mathematical, societal, educational, ideological, and genetic perspectives.

Towards Equity in Quality in Mathematics Education is useful for teachers and researchers in mathematics education.

While many accept that math is a universal, culturally indifferent subject in school, this book demonstrates that this is anything but true. Building off of a historically conscious understanding of school reform, Diaz makes the case that the language of mathematics, and the symbols through which it is communicated, is not merely about the alleged cultural indifference of mathematical thinking; rather, mathematical teaching relates to historical, cultural, political, and social understandings of equality that order who the child is and should be. Focusing on elementary math for all education reforms in America since the mid-twentieth century, Diaz offers an alternative way of thinking about the subject that recognizes the historical making of contemporary notions of inequality and difference.
