The Mathematics Teacher, 1945
World War II has focused our attention on the practical side of mathematics. Training in this subject has been a necessary part of the programs for turning out fliers, engineers, teachers, doctors, chemists, meteorologists and other workers. The amount of mathematics needed varies with the type of work and the level upon which the individual is ...

Experimental Mathematics in Mathematical Practice
2023This chapter presents an overview of the contributions to the section on Experimental Mathematics by focusing in particular on how they characterize the phenomenon of “experimental mathematics” and its origins. The second part presents two case studies illustrating how experimental mathematics is understood in contemporary analysis.

Phenomenology and Mathematical Practice
Philosophia Mathematica, 2002Abstract A phenomenological approach to mathematical practice is sketched out, and some problems with this sort of approach are considered. The approach outlined takes mathematical practices as its data, and seeks to provide an empirically adequate philosophy of mathematics based on observation of these practices.

Elementary Practical Mathematics
Nature, 1913DURING the past ten or fifteen years a great deal of work has been done by mathematical teachers in wiping old scores off the slate and redeveloping their teaching on more sensible and rational lines. It is well known that this revolution owes its success largely to the indefatigable exertions of Prof. John Perry.

Participating in Classroom Mathematical Practices
Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2001In this article, we describe a methodology for analyzing the collective learning of the classroom community in terms of the evolution of classroom mathematical practices. To develop the rationale for this approach, we first ground the discussion in our work as mathematics educators who conduct classroom-based design research.

Inclusive Practices in Mathematics Education
2016Inclusive mathematics education acknowledges human diversity and involves supporting the diverse learning needs of all students in general mathematics classrooms. In this chapter we review Australasian research concerning the various categories of diversity using the three themes of our framework: Access to the curriculum through policies and ...

Solving Practical Problems with Mathematics
1994Many people who are beginning to use mathematics to help them solve practical problems experience the same difficulties. These difficulties are not so much with the mathematical techniques themselves, which may be quite straightforward when viewed simply as calculations.

Mathematical practices, in theory and practice
ZDM, 2020Descriptions of mathematical thinking have an extended lineage. Sometimes accurate and sometimes not, sometimes misinterpreted and sometimes not, characterizations of mathematical thought processes have inspired and at times misled people interested in designing or framing mathematics instruction.
