Collaboration is central to impacting mathematics teaching and learning. As a university mathematics education professor (the first author) and a graduate student in mathematics education and former high school mathematics teacher (the second author), we have initiated partnerships with urban and rural middle schools, families, and preservice teachers during the past five years, using Family Math Nights (FMNs) as the vehicle for collaboration. FMNs are events that usually take place in school gyms, libraries, or cafeterias to promote awareness and inspire interest in K-12 mathematics education. The events are highly interactive, with stations that allow both adults and students to interact with teachers to better understand what inquiry and best practices in mathematics look like. The approach that we facilitated is quite different from the typical approach to designing and implementing FMNs.

ResumoO presente estudo é uma pesquisa bibliográfica inspirada no Estado do Conhecimento, tendo como objetivo compreender focos temáticos nas produções acadêmicas que utilizam/abordam o ensino de matemática através da resolução de problemas. Para tanto, realizou-se um mapeamento das produções acadêmicas publicadas nos periódicos: BOLEMA, Boletim GEPEM, Zetetiké, Educação Matemática em Revista e Educação Matemática Pesquisa, entre janeiro de 2011 e junho de 2019. De um modo geral, percebemos uma variedade de estudos contendo diferentes perspectivas discutidas e abordadas tanto na educação básica quanto no ensino superior.  A partir deste trabalho, é possível ampliar o entendimento sobre a temática, fortalecendo a ideia de que esta pode potencializar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de matemática.Palavras-chave: Resolução de problemas, Mapeamento, Educação matemática.AbstractThe present study is a bibliographic research inspired by the state of knowledge, aiming to understand thematic focuses on academic productions that use/approach teaching mathematics through problem-solving. For this purpose, we mapped the academic productions published in journals: BOLEMA, Boletim GEPEM, Zetetiké, Educação Matemática em Revista, and Educação Matemática Pesquisa, published between January 2011 and June 2019. We noticed a variety of studies containing different perspectives discussed and addressed both in basic and university education. From this work, it is possible to broaden the understanding of the theme, strengthening the idea that it can enhance the mathematics teaching and learning process.Keywords: Problem solving, Mapping, Mathematics education. ResumenEl presente estudio es una investigación bibliográfica inspirada en el estado del conocimiento, con el objetivo de comprender enfoques temáticos sobre producciones académicas que utilizan/abordan la enseñanza de las matemáticas a través de la resolución de problemas.

ResumoO trabalho é uma socialização de resultados parciais de uma pesquisa de Doutorado na área da Educação Matemática em desenvolvimento. Com o objetivo de identificar institucionalmente a atual produção acadêmica de caráter Stricto Sensu envolvendo estudantes com autismo e que contribui para uma primeira reflexão sobre o ensino e a aprendizagem da matemática em situações que envolvam estudantes com autismo, realizamos uma pesquisa por meio de uma análise documental de dissertações e teses que de alguma forma contribuem para uma reflexão sobre o processamento da imagem mental realizado por estudantes com autismo nas diferentes situações de ensino e de aprendizagem da matemática. Os resultados apontam que existem, mesmo que timidamente, contribuições importantes para a reflexão, no entanto, é necessária uma mobilização maior em estudos envolvendo estudantes com autismo. Palavras-Chave: Educação Especial; Imagem Mental; TEA.AbstractThe present study is a socialization of partial results of a doctor’s degree in mathematics education under development. The objective is institutionally identifying the current academic production involving students with autism spectrum disorder and contributing to a first reflection on the teaching and learning of mathematics in situations involving students with autism. We conducted a research through a document analysis of dissertations and theses that somehow contribute to a reflection on the processing of the imagery realized by students with autism spectrum disorder in the different situations of mathematics teaching and learning. The current research thus identifies that there are, even if timidly, important contributions to reflection, however, a greater mobilization is required in studies involving students with autism.Keywords: Special Education; Imagery; ASD.

There are many communities that are vital to the improvement of mathematics education—among them, classroom teachers, college teachers, staff developers, curriculum supervisors, mathematicians, and researchers. These communities all have important contributions to make to the ongoing reform of mathematics teaching and learning, but they do not always have language, mechanisms, or opportunities to communicate with each other.

And Mathematics

In July 2017, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) released a new mission statement that shifts the organization's primary focus to supporting and advocating for the highest quality mathematics teaching and learning for all students. A key strategy for achieving this goal is to advance “a culture of equity where each and every person has access to high quality teaching and is empowered as a learner and doer of mathematics” (NCTM, 2017, “Strategic Framework,” para. 2). Increasing equity and ensuring the highest quality mathematics teaching and learning for all students requires systemic change (National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics [NCSM] & TODOS: Mathematics for ALL, 2016). As educators are called to enact NCTM's new mission, we acknowledge that such change is complex. We also acknowledge that our own experiences conducting equity work that is grounded in an asset-based approach are at different stages of development, ranging from beginning levels to lived experiences as diverse mathematics learners and mathematics education researchers. We see this change in mission as a call to both act politically (Aguirre et al., 2017) and to change story lines (i.e., “broad, culturally shared narrative[s]”; Herbel-Eisenmann et al., 2016, p. 104) that dominate the public perception of mathematics learning and teaching. We acknowledge that systemic barriers are part of a larger educational issue, but for the purposes of this commentary, we focus on mathematics.

This edited volume, Vital Directions for Mathematics Education Research, is a significant contribution to our field because each chapter highlights grand problems that researchers must tackle to improve mathematics learning and teaching. The ambitious goals of the chapters could be summarized in a central question: How can research contribute to understanding and improving mathematics teaching so that we can further understand and support students' meaningful learning of mathematics? From this book, readers will draw inspiration for their research endeavors, and they will be able to situate their studies in broader perspectives about mathematics teaching and learning.

Mathematics Teaching And Learning

What role should educational research play in practice and vice versa? What is the role of theory in connecting research and practice? These are some of the questions that readers are invited to consider in Research for Educational Change: Transforming Researchers' Insights Into Improvement in Mathematics Teaching and Learning. Using a novel approach, this book brings these questions to the foreground and examines the links among research, practice, and theory in mathematics education.
