Abstract
The Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement is in the process of funding, for the next 3 years, a research and development center for mathematics learning and teaching. In the invitation to applicants, OERI contended that our understanding of how students learn and what they need to learn has advanced so far that now we should concentrate on identifying effective teaching strategies. For example, the first of a long list of questions the proposed center is expected to address is “What are effective instructional strategies and processes that promote the learning of mathematics subject matter and critical thinking and reasoning?” It is incredible, or more precisely unimaginable, to think that we might have the makings of an answer to such a question by 1990, but the center may at least be able to help us understand the question better.
