Are You Joking or Are You Sleeping? This study investigates the role of cultural beliefs and practices in teaching. Analyzed are teacher-student interactions surrounding mistakes videotaped in Italian and U.S. eighth-grade mathematics lessons. Italian and U.S. students have different experiences with mistakes that largely depend on how teachers organize instructional activities and frame classroom participant roles. Mistake-handling activities may be understood as culturally specific interplays of beliefs and practices. Santagata, R. (2005). "Are you joking or are you sleeping?"
