I have been working with some colleagues at LRDC associated with the
QUASAR mathematics reform project on the issue Angel raised, the
relationship between structure and practice. Most of the pieces we've
written are in the form of conference papers but some are (in press)
publications. A sample of those is listed below. If you would like
copies, please let me know and I'll see if the first author is willing to
circulate a prepublication draft.

and students to reform the mathematics classroom. Educational Studies in
Mathematics.
