Teaching means having “eyes” to see the mathematics Can teacher identify the mathematical essential Teaching means having “eyes” to see the mathematics Can teacher identify the mathematical essential points of materials? Does teacher deprive students’ of the opportunity to think mathematically? Ikeda & Kuwahara, 2002

And “eyes” to see the students Can teacher understand what students understand? ・Can students And “eyes” to see the students Can teacher understand what students understand? ・Can students understand teacher’s asking questions? ・Does teacher ignore students’ ideas by his/her selfish reason? ・ Can teacher accept and evaluate students’ ideas appropriately? ・ Can students discuss cooperatively?

Teaching is harder than it looks making students come to life in the world Teaching is harder than it looks making students come to life in the world of mathematics. But we can learn not only from our own experience and that of our colleagues but from the research that helps explain and provides insights into teaching and learning math
