Report

"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)
