In a product of the Classroom Research Group of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, seven researchers from around the world each describe a piece of research, another researcher in the field critically reviews the report, and sometimes the original author responds to the review. The topics include student-teacher interactions and the development of students' mathematical thinking, special education needs in mathematics, and what student teachers are learning about teaching mathematics.
