Abstract
This paper will discuss the production and use of classroom video‐tape as folows: It results from extensive experience and research by members of the Centre for Mathematics Education at the Open University, UK, in filming real mathematics lessons of teachers of pupils in the 5 to 18 years age range, and the use of the material produced for teachers’ professional development. This use is two‐fold, including both face to face workshops with teachers and as a component of distance learning materials. The paper will not discuss technical details of filming or tape production 1 1. Such details can be obtained from the author, or from members of the Centre for Mathematics Education at the Open University, or from members of the BBC, Open University Productions Unit, as the Open University, Milton Keyenes, UK. View all notes The two stages described are independent of each other. It is possible to produce video‐tape which others will use. It is possible to use videotape which others have produced.
