TL;DR: This book provides readers with a comprehensive and updated picture of the teaching and learning of mathematics involving Chinese students from various perspectives, including the ways in which Chinese students learn mathematics in classrooms, schools and homes, and the influence of the cultural and social environment on Chinese students' mathematics learning.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey study aiming to systematically examine, analyse and review relevant research focusing on mathematics textbooks and hence identify future directions in this field of research and propose five needed directions for advancing the research in mathematics textbook research.

TL;DR: This paper examined how selected school mathematics textbooks in China, Singapore, and USA at the lower secondary grade level represent problem-solving procedures and compared the similarities and differences in the representation of problemsolving procedures in the textbooks across the three countries.

TL;DR: The authors compared how selected mathematics textbooks from Mainland China and the United States at the lower secondary grade level represent various types of problems for classroom teaching and learning, and explored the possible influences of those textbooks on students' different performances in mathematics, as revealed in cross-national comparisons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define textbook research as a disciplined inquiry into issues about mathematics textbooks and the relationships between mathematics textbook and other factors in mathematics education and argue that researchers need to expand research issues from descriptive issues such as how a special topic is treated in textbooks to correlational issues including how they are affected by other factors and how they affect other factors concerning education.
