Singapore Mathematics Teachers' Design of Instructional Materials

This paper reports on one aspect of a bigger project: teachers' design of instructional materials. We found a number of design moves used by the teachers in our study. In this paper, we report three of them: Making things explicit, making connections, and resequencing practice examples. [This paper is the fourth in a symposium of four papers.
