Rigorous Mathematical Thinking by James T Kinard
The first book to present mathematics teaching from Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory of learning perspective. The authors introduce a RMT program that helps students to gain general thinking skills essential for all types of problem solving. They show how mathematics standards can be reached by students considered to be 'underachievers'.
'… The book raises some interesting ideas and should give rise to some productive reflections' American Journal of Psychology
