Description
The book reveals some striking parallels between working to support students’ mathematical thinking and working to support teacher learning. A case is made for the importance of meta communication in both contexts - communication about the communications that are occurring. For example, there is compelling evidence from a classroom that metacommunication, linked to the words ‘conjecture’ and ‘becoming a mathematician’, supports student metacognition and mathematical thinking.
