Readers will gain insight about how to foster a challenging, cognitively rich, and exciting classroom climate that propels students toward a richer understanding of mathematics. “If every teacher and teacher educator took the opportunity to study and discuss these cases, students everywhere would know and value mathematics as the national standards have envisioned.”—Susan Loucks-Horsley, Director of Professional Development for the National Institute for Science Education “The power of case discussions c
