This conversation led these Japanese mathematics educators to articulate \"key considerations\" that should be addressed when preparing a good mathematics lesson and the \"criteria\" that can be used as guidelines when reflecting on the quality of a lesson after it has been taught.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe three considerations are: \u003cbr\u003e Make the Goal of the Lesson Clear\u003cbr\u003e Thoughtfully Decide on the Problem and its Presentation\u003cbr\u003e Plan Ways to Incorporate Students' Ideas\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd the questions corresponding to the criteria are: \u003cbr\u003e Were Students Proactively Engaged and Did They Continue to Think for Themselves?\u003cbr\u003e Were the Objectives Appropriately Set and Achieved?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWhat Makes a Good Mathematics Lesson\u003c\/em\u003e: \u003cem\u003eThe Lessons\u003c\/em\u003e, 27 Japanese middle school teachers describe lessons in which they implemented the key considerations and two criteria.
