ab: Summary: In this article, the authors present a case study of six
    Singaporean elementary school teachers working in a lesson study team
    that prepared them for problem solving instruction. The lesson study
    process included preparing, observing, and critiquing mathematics
    lessons in the context of solving fractions tasks. By conducting the
    lesson study, the authors anticipated that these teachers would develop
    greater insight into students\rq mathematics, which would influence
    their classroom practices. Through the process of planning, observing
    and critiquing and by purposefully listening to students\rq
    explanations, the teachers began to better understand their students\rq
    learning, which in turn could help them develop their students\rq
    mathematical knowledge.
