Written by experts in the field of mathematics education, it investigates and offers fresh insight into topics of central importance, including:
Gender, social inequality and mathematics
Mathematics, politics and climate change
The history and culture of mathematics
Using popular culture in the mathematics classroom
The concept of ‘ability’ and its impact on learning
What we mean by ‘teaching for understanding’
Choosing and using examples in teaching
The fitness of formal examinations.
Designed to stimulate discussion and support you in your own research, writing and practice, Debates in Mathematics Education will be a valuable resource for any student or practising teacher engaged in initial teacher training, continuing professional development or Masters level study. It also has much to offer to those leading initial teacher education programmes, and to beginning doctoral students looking for a survey of the field of mathematics education research.
