This edited volume examines new ways of teaching mathematics through a cross-cultural reciprocal learning project between sister schools in Canada and China. Situating teacher learning in the intersection of the two different school systems, curriculums, and cultures of mathematics learning and teaching in both nations, this volume offers teachers a unique and much-needed perspective on how practices between countries become more and more likely shaped by each other in the emerging global society. Born out of a comparative study project sponsored by the SSHRC, this volume compiles five years' worth of findings from reciprocal partnerships between researchers, teachers, school administrators, and students from both nations. Through the process of reciprocal learning and narrative inquiry, the research described in these chapters illuminates the unknown and shares newly-created mathematics education knowledge.

“The audience that would benefit most from this book includes program designers for pre-service teachers, multicultural education curriculum designers, mathematics methods instructors, and mathematics educators in primary and secondary schools, though it is written simply enough to be understood by a much wider audience. Due to the comparing and contrasting nature of this book, it is suitable for readers in any country … . ” (Jasmine Sourwine, MAA Reviews, June 6, 2022)
