School Mathematics and Mathematicians' Mathematics: teachers' beliefs about Mathematics

conference contribution
posted on 2023-05-23, 17:01 authored by Kim Beswick
There is broad acceptance that mathematics teachers' beliefs about the nature of mathematics impact the ways in which they teach the subject. It is also recognised that mathematics as practised in typical school classrooms is different from the mathematical activity of mathematicians. This paper presents evidence that some mathematics teachers hold differing beliefs about nature of mathematics, as a discipline and as a school subject and suggests possible implications for practice.
