Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics by Liping Ma

Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics by Liping Ma

This is a study of the differences between Chinese and US teachers' knowledge of maths. It explores how Chinese teachers' understanding of maths contributes to their student's success, and proposes that it seems difficult for US teachers to develop a deep understanding of the maths they teach.

Liping Ma earned a Ph.D. from Stanford University, following a masters degree in education from East China Normal University. After a term as a senior scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, she is now an independent scholar. She served as a member of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel from 2006 to 2008.
