Asks teachers and prospective teachers to reflect on their relationships with mathematics and how these relationships influence their teaching and the experiences of their students. This book covers basic topics such as planning and assessment, classroom management, and organization of classroom experiences.

Models the kind of thinking about teaching and learning accomplished through teachers' interactions with the everyday materials of teaching. This book starts with children's books, branches out into other youth culture texts, and subsequently to thinking about everyday life itself.

Teachers read children's books, but that reading is often done as a 'teacher' - that is, as planning for instruction - rather than as a 'reader' engaged with the text. This title models the kind of thinking about teaching and learning - the sort of curriculum theorizing - accomplished through teachers' interactions with the materials of teaching.
