Mathematics Education as a Research Domain: A Search for Identity An ICMI Study

Mathematics Education as a Research Domain: A Search for Identity An ICMI Study / edited by Anna Sierpinska, Jeremy Kilpatrick.

No one disputes how important it is, in today's world, to prepare students to un­ derstand mathematics as weII as to use and communicate mathematics in their future lives. That task is very difficult, however. Refocusing curricula on funda­ mental concepts, producing new teaching materials, and...
