This volume is an outgrowth of the Conference on Research on the Enacted Mathematics Curriculum, funded by the National Science Foundation and held in Tampa, Florida in November 2010. The volume has the potential to be useful to a range of researchers, from established veterans in curriculum research to new researchers in this area of mathematics education. The chapters can be used to generate conversation about researching the enacted mathematics curriculum, including similarities and differences in the variables that can and should be studied across various curricula. As such, it might be...

Many phenomena have shaped mathematics education over the past five decades, including the "new math," "back to basics," and standards movements, as well as rapidly advancing technology. Throughout his career, Zalman Usiskin witnessed, participated in, and responded to these developments, reaching teachers, mathematics educators, and the international education community. Few have had Usiskin's talent and willingness to offer opinions and guidance to inform improvement efforts in school mathematics. Currently professor emeritus, University of Chicago, Usiskin devoted a significant portion of...
