This book is about promising research advancements that sparked directly or indirectly from intellectual contributions by distinguished internationally recognized mathematics educator and researcher, Edward A. Silver. The features of this book include:
- A focus on the research areas that have benefited from Dr. Silver’s intellectual contributions and influence, such as designing instructional tasks, problem posing, problem solving, preservice teacher learning, in service teacher professional development, and mathematics assessment
- Chapters written by contributors who at one time were his doctoral or post-doctoral colleagues along with any invited co-authors
- A brief bio of Dr. Silver showing his intellectual journey, key milestones in his career, and scholarly accomplishments that sparked from his intellectual contributions
“The volume shows ways in which the field has made inroads on that problem. As such, it should be of primary interest to scholars and professional developers who are interested in understanding and supporting multiple aspects of mathematical sense-making. It stands as an appropriate and informative homage to Professor Edward A. Silver and his career.” (Alan H. Schoenfeld, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 117 (2), 2024)
“This book, dedicated to Edward A. Silver and the areas and projects benefiting from his influence, is a collection of a dozen essays on the skillful use of problem posing as an instrument to enhance mathematics instruction and learning, and should be of interest and benefit to anyone involved in mathematics education.” (Russell Jay Hendel, MAA Reviews, February 29, 2024)
