“The book is equally ideal for those who are new to mathematics education research and the current teacher educators. It was interesting to see how the topics are globally connected, with similar emphasis on STEM agenda, problem-solving, critical thinking, collaborative dialogues in the United States education system. Therefore, this book will be an asset to the global audience.” (Sandra Richy John, MAA Reviews, June 20, 2022)
