Critics Review
“Akihiko Takahashi has been at the heart of Teaching Through Problem-Solving (TTP) from its very beginnings in Japan, first as a master teacher, and then as a researcher and coach. In this volume he brings the central ideas of TTP to Western readers. If you’ve wondered why Japanese teachers and students do so well at mathematics, this book will show you why and show you how.”
- Alan Schoenfeld, Series Editor, from the Foreword
