Abstract

A U.S.–Japan Seminar on Mathematical Problem Solving was held at the East-West Center in Honolulu 14– 18 July 1986 (Becker and Miwa 1987). Among the seminar's proposals was that cross-cultural research on American and Japanese students' problem-solving behaviors be organized and carried out. The author were in Japan in the fall of 1988 to meet with their Japanese counterparts, plan research, and make visits to mathematics classrooms preliminary to conducting a two-year program of research. In addition to planning the research, we were on a fact-finding visit to classrooms to better acquaint ourselves with mathematics teaching and learning in Japan.
