Different communities, speaking different languages, employ different naming systems to describe the events, actions, and interactions of the mathematics classroom. The International Classroom Lexicon Project documented the professional vocabulary available to middle-school mathematics teachers in Australia, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, and the United States. National teams of researchers and experienced teachers used a common set of classroom videos to stimulate recognition of familiar terms describing aspects of the mathematics classroom. This book details the existing professional vocabulary in each international community by which mathematics teachers conceptualise their practice, and explores the characteristics, structures, and distinctive features of each national lexicon. This book has the potential to enrich the professional vocabulary of mathematics teachers around the world by providing access to sophisticated classroom practices named by teachers in different countries.This one volume offers separate, individual lexicons developed from empirical research, the capacity to juxtapose such lexicons, and an unmatched opportunity to highlight the cultural, historical, and linguistic bases of teachers' professional language.

This book provides a critical review of research in mathematics education published in or about the Australasian region in the four years from 2020 to 2023. Research in Mathematics Education in Australasia 2020-2023 (RiMEA 2020-2023) is the eleventh edition of the four-yearly review of mathematics education research in Australasia. It is compiled by the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA). It is primarily focused on research from Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore but also includes research from other Southeast Asian countries and the South Pacific. Although each edition of RiMEA is shaped by the preceding volumes, each new edition evolves in response to events coinciding with each new review period. Following an introduction by the editors, RiMEA 2020-2023 will contain a reflection chapter authored by the editors of the previous edition, 'Research in Mathematics Education in Australasia 2016–2019,' on how research in mathematics education in theAustralasian region has progressed over the four years since. This book provides a comprehensive critical review of research literature in the Australasian region on significant topics published within the review period. It serves as a resource for researchers and promotes quality research in the Australasian region. Furthermore, it provides an introduction to mathematics education research in the Australasian region for Ph.D. candidates, early career researchers, and other researchers beginning a new field of research.
