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.

Industry 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)
