Baldry, Fay; Mann, Jacqueline; Horsman, Rachael; Koiwa, Dai; Foster, Colin – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2023
In this paper, we analyse a grade 8 (age 13-14) Japanese problem-solving lesson involving angles associated with parallel lines, taught by a highly regarded, expert Japanese mathematics teacher. The focus of our observation was on how the teacher used carefully planned board work to support a rich and extensive plenary discussion (neriage) in…

PDF on ERIC Download full text
Morita, Eiji; Inagaki, Kayoko – 1995
In the Hypothesis-Experiment-Instruction (HEI) method students are presented with a problem with three or four answer alternatives, which leads them later to recognize the distribution of choices, discuss a variety of ideas among them, and integrate distributed pieces of information. This study examined the effects of presenting a problem with or…
