Mathematics Teachers’ Expertise in Resources Work and Its Development in Collectives: A French and a Chinese Cases

Designed as a case study, two mathematics teachers from two contrasting contexts, China and France, were selected and investigated. Looking through both the teachers’ resource system and their resources work in collectives, it is hoped to develop a deeper understandings on teacher’s expertise in working with resources, and the factors from collectives to develop it.
