Eight short video clips on fraction, which were all video-recorded in USA were shown to secondary teachers in South Africa, Cambodia and Zambia. After having watched all the videos, they were asked to select a lesson similar to local lessons, most effective and least effective lessons. The analysis of the reasons for their selection yielded six large categories and 15 sub-categories in total. Cross-national analysis shows some different patterns of lesson selection for each category and the reasons they referred to. It was suggested that some difference in their perception of lessons had some influence over their assessment of lessons.
