Synopsis

This book compiles and synthesizes existing research on teachers’ use of mathematics curriculum materials and the impact of curriculum materials on teaching and teachers, with a particular emphasis on – but not restricted to – those materials developed in the 1990s in response to the NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Despite the substantial amount of curriculum development activity over the last 15 years and growing scholarly interest in their use, the book represents the first compilation of research on teachers and mathematics curriculum materials and the first volume with this focus in any content area in several decades.

Review:

"You may be wondering why Routledge has elected to reprint in paperback form and TCR has chosen to do a review on a book first published in 2009.  It doesn’t take the reader long to figure out why: The message of this text is more relevant and important today than it was in 2009. (And it should be noted that the text was timely and important in 2009!)"
