Many studies in mathematics education have emphasized the importance of attending to students' interactions, particularly, their mathematical reasoning when collaborating on solving problems. However, the question of how teachers can facilitate students' productive interactions for learning mathematics, is still a challenging one. This case study…

In a number of educational contexts, it is common for two or more teachers to "co-teach," or collaborate on-site together in a classroom.
