Review Quotes: "A prominent feature of this book is stories of disturbance and resulting learning opportunities. ... the ideas presented in this book are not for beginning mathematics teachers, but are definitely worth considering by experienced mathematics teachers wanting to give their students an opportunity to experience ... real mathematical discovery." (Annie Selden, MAA Reviews, April 10, 2022)
