"The key strength of the book is its systematic inquiry into how teaching and learning crystallizes. More than that, the book takes the findings from the inquiry to inform what might be done to improve classroom experiences. Illuminating and building on the analyses of the lesson event, and with genuine respect for the efforts of the teacher (Mr T), are practical proposals for pedagogical change."- Margaret Walshaw,Educational Studies in Mathematics, March 2017
