Lesson Study Presentation by APEC project

ICME 11, Mexico 2008

Abstract

During the past ten years, lesson study has been spreading for the improvement of classroom practices from the USA to other countries. Originated from Japan a hundred years ago, it is beginning to influence many countries and has been exercised to develop innovative approaches in each country. On this context, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has adopted the Lesson Study Project for Mathematics from 2006. This presentation includes a Lecture Session for introducing what lesson study is and what has been going on in APEC economies, and Demonstration Sessions for experiencing lesson study in English and Spanish. Lessons present the problem solving approaches by Japanese expert teachers with Mexican elementary school students.
