Research Abstract	Two main results of this research are the followings. (1) The two-axes process model of understanding mathematics can be embodied and used for improving secondary school mathematics lessons. The principles and methods based on the model can be used as the effective guidelines for designing and improving mathematics lessons. (2) The long-going and intensive implementation of "lesson study" with teachers according to a real situation in each school can be an effective way to enhance secondary school teachers' abilities and deepen students' understanding of mathematical concepts, properties and relations.
