IN SEARCH OF GOOD PRACTICE AND INNOVATION IN MATHEMATICS TEACHING AND LEARNING: A MALAYSIAN PERSPECTIVE

Introduction This paper begins with a description of good practice of mathematics teaching as perceived by the Malaysian perspective. The sources of discussion include those from the school curriculum, local related research studies and the practicing mathematics teachers. The second part of this paper will focus on a small research project that promotes practices of good mathematics teaching through the Lesson Study model. Issues and challenges that we faced in introducing Lesson Study as an innovative model of teacher professional development will be discussed. A video clip of one of the lesson planned and taught during one of the Lesson Study cycle will also be displayed for further discussion.
