Textbook research in mathematics education: development status and directions (2013, background): “Similarly, Stacey and Vincent (2009) examined the reasoning presented in nine Australian eighth grade textbooks, and found that most of them provided explanations for most of the seven topics analysed, though these explanations were mainly used for rule derivation or justification rather than as…”
Principles for designing mathematical tasks that enhance imitative and creative reasoning (2017, background): “Teaching, textbooks and assessments may promote rote learning, in the sense that algorithmic task-solution templates are provided by teachers and textbooks, and many practice and test tasks can be solved by imitating such templates (Lithner 2004; Stacey and Vincent 2009; Thompson et al.”
