The gaze into today's mathematics classroom is firmly  focused on the individual learner. Recently, however, studies of  mathematics in social practices, including the market place and the  home, have initiated a shift of focus. Culture has become identified  as a key to understanding the basis on which the learner appropriates  meaning. The chapters in this timely book attempt to engage with this  shift of focus and offer original contributions to the debate about  mathematics teaching and learning. They adopt theoretical perspectives  while drawing on the classroom as both the source of investigation and  the site of potential change and development. The book will be of  fundamental interest to lecturers and researchers and to teachers  concerned with the classroom as a cultural phenomenon. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 June 1994\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792329312\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e215\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803362594956,"sku":"9780792329312","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792329312.jpg?v=1781751072","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792329312","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
