Abstract
This paper considers the literature to understand a teaching approach used by mathematics teachers in Shanghai, known as teaching with variation or bianshi. What the bianshi framework involves is explored; also what impact bianshi has had on learning mathematics in Shanghai and how relevant this approach might be to primary classrooms in England. Bianshi involves generalising from examples using conceptual and procedural variation for concept development. There is some evidence to suggest that bianshi has a positive impact on mathematics learning in parts of China and is complementary to constructivist principles and thus potentially transferable to classrooms in England.
