Abstract/Description:
We analyzed video of three Japanese lesson study sessions connected to elementary or middle school math lessons. We use the discussion to better understand what Japanese teachers view as most important in a lesson and the frame which they use to view a lesson. We discuss how some ideas used by the Japanese could potentially be useful for US teachers and US professional developers.
