Teaching Multiplication with Lesson Study
This open access book is intended to assist teachers, teacher trainers, curriculum designers, editors and authors of textbooks in developing strategies to teach the multiplication of natural numbers based on the experience of the Lesson Study in Japan. This approach to mathematics education dates back to the 1870s and reconciles the emphasis on problem solving with the treatment of the curricular contents. It has gained international recognition since the 1990s and thanks to it mathematics education in Japan has been recognized as one of the most efficient and innovative in the world. This growing international awareness has led to an effort to apply the principles of Lesson Study to other parts of the world and this book shows how experienced authors from Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Spain and Portugal have worked to adapt some of these methods and techniques to the Portuguese and Spanish speaking countries of Ibero-America. Drawing on the impact of Lesson Study on government curriculum decisions and teacher behavior in Japanese classrooms; offering examples of lessons, lesson plans and suggestions for teaching; and presenting examples of the good reception of the principles of Lesson Study in Ibero-America, Teaching Multiplication with Lesson Study – Japanese and Ibero-American Theories for Mathematics Education shows how an efficient and cutting-edge experience in mathematics education can travel the world and help teachers in many different countries.
Multiplication with Lesson Study: Teaching Strategies
A teaching strategy refers to the principles and methods employed by teachers to enable student learning. These strategies are decided depending upon the subject matter to be taught and capabilities of the learner. Lesson study is a teaching method which involves a group of teachers meeting regularly over a period of time. Its objective is to design, test, improve and implement one or several research lessons. The research lessons focus on specific teacher generated problems, goals or visions and are recorded for analysis. The approach of lesson study is used extensively in Japan to teach mathematics and is gaining worldwide recognition as an effective technique to teach multiplication of natural numbers. The book studies, analyses and upholds the tenets of lesson study and its utmost significance in modern times. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of lesson study. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book.
Japanese Lesson Study in Mathematics
In Before It's Too Late: A Report to the Nation from the National Commission on Mathematics and Science Teaching for the 21st Century (2000) in the US, the authors quote from James Stigler's conclusions from various videotape research studies of mathematics teaching: ?The key to long-term improvement [in teaching] is to figure out how to generate, accumulate, and share professional knowledge?. Japanese Lesson Study has proved to be one successful means.This book supports the growing movement of lesson study to improve the quality of mathematics education from the original viewpoints of Japanese educators who have been engaging in lesson study in mathematics for professional development and curriculum implementation. This book also illustrates several projects related to lesson study in other countries.
