It has been one year since On Teaching and Learning Mathematics<\/i> launched<\/a>, so it seems an appropriate time for reflection. \u00a0As I re-read the 36 articles we have published over the past twelve months, five prominent themes emerged that I will discuss below: teaching practices; bridges between K-12 and postsecondary education; expanding visions of mathematics education; the voices of students; and research, communication, and policy. \u00a0If\u00a0you have not had a chance to read all of our articles during the past twelve months, or if you have done so and would like to revisit them from a new\u00a0perspective, this is my guide to the first year of our blog.<\/p>\n

Teaching Practices<\/b>.<\/i> \u00a0One major theme of our blog over the past year has been the importance of interactions between students and teachers, particularly in classroom settings. \u00a0From reflections on experimenting with varied pedagogical methods, to descriptions of interesting activities for students, to consideration of the role of broad student learning outcomes, the following articles provide many ideas that teachers can use to create quality interactions and engagement with students.<\/p>\n
