kill about using LEGO in mathematics teaching and learning to mathematics teachers. This conducted into three stages of training and two stages of real teaching. The stages of the training were introducing the use of LEGO in mathematics teaching and learning, designing sets of teaching and learning activities using LEGO as the media, and peer teaching. The real teaching conducted in two stages of three meetings for each stages. Twelve mathematics teachers from five schools of Muhammadiyah in Surakarta were participated in this training. The teachers have technically trained with new experiences using LEGO as media in mathematics learning and have developed five sets of lesson plans for the topics of fractions, sets, proportion, linear equation with one variable, and statistics. The real teaching for the topic of fractions was conducted in two of those five schools. The results indicate the learning activities designed support students understanding and attitude in 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.

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused new ways of doing and being, both in education systems and beyond across the world. In the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand, the widely supported government approach focused on the well-being of the nation with a position that saving lives was more important than maintaining an open economy. As researchers and educators, we supported teachers as they worked with their students in their home settings. This provided us with an opportunity to explore a vision of a reinvented system of mathematics education beyond institutional and formal structures of schools. In this chapter, we present the analysis of the responses from 24 educators mainly from low socioeconomic urban settings as they reflected on how they enacted mathematics teaching and learning during the lockdown while connecting with students and their families as well as their subsequent learning from this experience. Results highlighted that the mathematical learning of students went beyond what was accessed by digital means and included parents drawing on rich everyday opportunities. A key finding was that by supporting and privileging the well-being of students and communities, the connections and relationships between educators and families were enhanced.

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.
