Abstract
In his chapter in this part, Yang reports on Smith and Stein proposing that “if a teacher sets up a low level demands task … it has no possibility to be implemented as a … doing mathematics task”. This raises an interesting and perhaps challenging perspective related to the overall focus and intent of the chapters in this part that are grouped under the heading “Transforming Mathematics Instruction with Different Approaches in Teacher Education”.
