One Teacher and a Class of School Students: Their Perception of the Culture of Their Mathematics Classroom and Its Construction.

Angier, Corinne; Povey, Hilary

Educational Review, v51 n2 p147-60 Jun 1999

The metaphor of spaciousness emerged in an examination of one math teacher and one class of students. Spacious math embraces large problems with mathematically rich activities. Spacious teaching and learning is large enough to include social relationships. Students felt that the teacher, group, and class organization mattered to learning. (SK)
