Abstract

This chapter describes a nation-wide project - Club-5 - aimed at improving the quality of mathematics teaching in high school through management of teachers' communities of practice. Club-5 aims to create a comfort zone for project par ticipants and enhance the inquiry components in school mathematics teaching. Mutual support, shared experiences, and professional conversations within the communities, along with implementation of challenging mathematical tasks, edu cational technologies, and collaborative learning in the classes, are core elements of Club-5. Special attention is paid to the professional development of community leaders.
