Descrição: This publication describes a design experiment that focused on linear measurement and was conducted in a first-grade class. Its chapters explore three themes that concern design researchers: the relation between the development of instructional designs and the analysis of students' learning, the relation between communal classroom processes and individual students' reasoning, and the role of tools in supporting development.

Descrição: The chapters in this monograph describe qualitative research methods used to investigate students' and teachers' interactions with school mathematics. Each contributing author uses data from his or her own research to illustrate a partic- ular technique or aspect of research design. The different chapters present a wide range of methods, representing a variety of goals and perspectives. Rather than a comprehensive reference manual, this monograph illustrates the diversity of methods available for qualitative research in mathematics education.
