Over the last decade many western countries have undertaken educational reforms in an effort to increase student achievement in mathematics. In New Zealand the government funded the Numeracy Development (NDP) a professional development initiated in 1999 in response to student under-achievement in the TIMSS mathematics tests.This book investigates the intentions of NDP in relation to the perspectives of eight teachers who participated in this mathematical reform programme.

They voice examples of their growth in knowledge and pedagogy and talk about their frustrations over lack of time to consolidate these changes. This book is written for teachers involved in professional development, researchers, facilitators and lecturers in mathematics education.
