Mathematics Teachers Engaging with Representations of Practice

Abstract

I highlight the main issues discussed in the chapters and wonder about the effect of engaging with representations of practice on actual teaching practice . I offer avenues for future studies in which representations of practice are designed by teachers, rather than researchers and teacher educators.
