The Japanese methodology, known in the West as Lesson Study, has been exploited in teacher education programs in various parts of the world, including the Brazilian Amazon where two pioneering studies have been carried out recently. This paper is a reflection on potential challenges to the implementation of this methodology in the Amazon. An inference that is drawn from it is that the current circumstances of the teaching culture and other cultural characteristics obtaining in this region only admit the implementation of a vague version of the Japanese Lesson Study.

The distinction between procedural and conceptual learning has long been a topic of discussion in mathematics education and the idea of compression into thinkable concepts that enable the individual make links between them (Tall, 2007). In addition to, the compression to thinkable concept was to be thinking mechanism arising naturally and important thinking tool in developing concepts (Gray & Tall, 2002). The major act of compression to thinkable concept shifts attention from the sharing procedure as a sequence of steps to the effect of that procedure (Gray & Tall, 2007). So, the compression to thinkable concept is one important way in order to understand in development from procedures to concept. This article presented example the compression procedures in problem solving to thinkable concept under context using Lesson Study and Open Approach, with the four of first graders a project school supported by CRME. In this study based on the framework that purposed by Tall and Isoda (2007) and Poynter (2004). Under context using Lesson Study and Open Approach provide to students manipulated with designed materials for supporting and checking their various symbolic thinking before into same effect through parallel compression 5 steps into thinkable concept in blending embodiment and symbolism. In embodiment from step-by-step action, to the possible choice of several different action, to seen the overall effect as same effect that can be carried out in various ways, to compressing it as effect as prototype, to awareness and appreciation of effect used later. In symbolism from step-by-step procedure, to the possible choice of several different procedures, to seen the overall effect as a general process that can be carried out in various ways, to compressing it as thinkable concept, to awareness and appreciation of thinkable concept in extending mathematical structure. Consequently, the students used considering the way of thinking and refined the ideas in order to develop a major idea from different procedures in problem solving.

The three worlds of mathematics by David Tall provide a framework for studying mathematical thinking and its development. Extending the framework of three worlds by Tall with Juha Oikkonen’s ”two faces of mathematics” develops a new, broader framework in which certain aspects to research on learning mathematics (such as mini-theories) are included to form a larger entity. The framework, previously drafted by Oikkonen and more thoroughly analyzed in this article, has the power to explain, for example, the learning processes of individual mathematical concepts.
... There are many barriers to overcome in relation to the Japanese situation. In Europe as well as in the United States there is no widespread history of a changing process from individualized instruction to whole classroom instruction (Isoda and Tall 2007). Moreover, the barrier in Europe is its focus on renewing instead of improving teaching and learning approaches. ...

Deze studie gaat in op kenmerken van sensible mathematics - het gevoelig maken voor wiskundige begrippen en bewerkingen - in de context van het begrip afgeleide in 4vwo wiskunde B. Zes wiskundedocenten van verschillende scholen onderzochten samen hun lespraktijken aan de hand van lesson study. Concreet werden onderzoekslessen samen voorbereid, waarbij de uitvoering gezamenlijk werd geobserveerd. Op basis van discussie en reflectie werden de onderzoekslessen herzien en opnieuw uitgevoerd op een andere locatie. De resultaten van het onderzoek laten zien dat het gevoelig maken voor wiskunde begint met het activeren van het denken van leerlingen, inspelend op de intuïtie. Het gaat erom dat leerlingen gaan redeneren en communiceren in een eigen taal. Daarna ontstaat de fase waarin behoefte is aan visualisaties (iconen) om situaties te beschrijven die vervolgens overvloeien in getallen en bewerkingen daarmee (symbolen). In de fase waarin getallen een rol spelen is onderscheid gemaakt tussen het werken met getallen en het redeneren over de bewerkingen met getallen.

The objective of mathematics learning and teaching was to develop students' concept in content so that the persons as teachers, educators, and researchers would try to search for instruments, and know for comprehending the students' existing concepts. The study abstraction process based on compression into thinkable concept was to be a major guideline in considering and findings answer in order to understand the students' concept (Gray & Tall, 2007). In Thai classroom using Lesson Study and Open Approach produced the students' mathematical thinking by using open-ended problems with designed material for supporting interaction of students and their problem solving arithmetic (Inprasitha, 1997). According to view of Tall (2007a) suggested a parallel construction of compression in the symbolism and embodiment to thinkable concept. This paper aim to analyze the students' abstraction process based on compression into thinkable concept from blending embodiment and symbolism. The four first grader as targeted group at Kookham Pittayasan School, a project school with supported by CRME, Faculty of Education, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. For research design used ethnographic study and teaching experiment. The collected data were used video analysis, interviewing, and students' task analysis. The research revealed that, the students' thinking shift steadily from performing sequence of parallel compression from actions being linked together in increasingly sophisticated ways to thinkable concept in embodiment and symbol-ism. This research revealed that Lesson Study incorporated Open Approach as teaching approach pro-vided to students' abstraction process from considering that they manipulated with designed materials for supporting and checking their various symbolic thinking before into same effect on arithmetic operation.

This study focuses on mathematics teachers’ professional development through elements of Japanese lesson study. The teachers designed a research lesson with regard to sense-making of the derivative using the integration of GeoGebra. In the second year of the four-year lesson study project, seven secondary school teachers – from different Dutch schools – worked cooperatively, building on the first-year experiences with the introduction of the derivative. The teachers designed a lesson that focused on encapsulation of the conceptual understanding of the derivative before solving problems with operational symbolism later in the course. They tried to make sense of the calculus using GeoGebra as a tool to realize surprise in which conceptual embodiment and operational symbolism blend together. The teachers integrated GeoGebra to consolidate the derivative using the visual idea of zooming in on the graph to see its local behavior (where a differentiable function looks ‘locally straight’). The teachers reported that they have learned to use visualizations and experienced the importance of student interaction. The teachers realized that this approach of the derivative – integrating GeoGebra – encouraged them to reflect on how the students made sense of learning activities in general.
