    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Teachers of all subjects are constantly being asked to reflect on their teaching in order to develop greater understanding and skill in teaching and to enhance students' learning outcomes. It is suggested that this reflective practice is one component of teaching and learning mathematics that will revitalise mathematics in Australian schools. With ever increasing demands on teacher's times, it is necessary to find ways in which this reflective process can be implemented without taking additional time. Some of the difficulties that teachers might encounter in implementing the AAMT Standards for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics in Australian Schools will be discussed and an action research strategy recommended for overcoming them.]]
