There is absolutely no substitute for actual observation of Japan's best elementary mathematics pedagogues in action. They are dazzlingly brilliant, without calling attention to themselves. The focus remains constantly on student mathematical activity. But it is artfully managed.
For whatever it's worth, my own take is that the greatest Japanese pedagogue of elementary mathematics now in the classroom is Takii Akira. It is hard to exaggerate how skilled he is. Watching him work is not unlike watching Roger Federer play tennis. Breathtaking.
