This study investigates Chinese and U.S. teacher's constructions of pedagogical
representations by analyzing the video-taped lessons from the Learner’s Perspective
Study, involving 10 Chinese and 10 U.S. consecutive lessons on the topic of linear
equations or linear relations. This study allows not only for the examination of what
pedagogical representations Chinese and U.S. teachers construct, but also for the
examination of the changes and progressions of constructed representations in these
Chinese and U.S. lessons. This study is significant because it contributes to our
understanding of the cultural differences involving U.S. and Chinese students'
mathematical thinking and has practical implications for constructing pedagogical
representations to maximize students’ learning.
