The Values of Mathematical Culture
1991David Lancy (1983) in his major cross-cultural study in Papua New Guinea gives us a helpful introduction to the analysis of the values of Mathematical culture. He developed a stage theory to account for the differences he found in his research and compared his stages with those of Piaget. He first of all came to the conclusion that, regarding cognitive

Historicity, Value and Mathematics
1976At the beginning of the present century a series of beautiful but threatening paradoxes were discovered within mathematics, paradoxes which suggested a fundamental unclarity in traditional mathematical methods. These methods rested on the assumption of a realm of mathematical idealities existing independently of our thinking activity, and in order to ...

Values in Mathematics Education
2019Mathematics stands apart as a subject in the school curriculum, universally regarded as important, the only subject taught in practically every school in the world, and apparently sublimely impervious to the constraints of the cultural environment and social value-system within which it is being taught. One way in which mathematics education can convey

Mathematics, Educational Values, and Intellectual Values
2018In this chapter I emphasize my conception that the mathematics teacher should also be an educator and not simply a person who covers the course syllabus. I discuss the moral value people call “the golden rule.” I also discuss the educational value of procedures.

Some Values of the Study of Mathematics
The Mathematics Teacher, 1931Probably you have all had experiences like the following. We were having a week of review in a class in algebra. I asked if the students had any questions. One boy asked, "What is this all about?" Another student asked, "What is the use of all this mathematics?"

Mathematical Values of the Snellen Notations
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1924The Snellen notation of visual acuity was not intended for a fractional expression of the proportion of full vision found. Its use in that sense gives a false impression. A series of test type, arranged on the plan of a unit of difference between the different sizes of the letters, is inferior to one arranged with the unit of proportion of one size to ...

Civic Values in the study of Mathematics
The Mathematics Teacher, 1928At one time or another, we all have the question from parent or student or both as to just what the average student can expect to get out of the study of mathematics. As a brief, and necessarily incomplete, answer to this question, the following paper is offered.

Value and Logic in Elementary Mathematics
The Mathematics Teacher, 1930About fifteen years ago our National Government brought suit for the dissolution of the United States Steel Corporation on the ground that this organization was a combination in restraint of trade and therefore was operating in violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. In the year 1919 the final decision in this case was made by the Supreme Court of the

Investigating the mathematics valued by employers
2015Mathematics bars many students from beginning a college program, as evidenced in community college developmental mathematics. In community colleges, over 60% of incoming students who fail a placement test are placed into developmental mathematics; 70% of these students never pass developmental mathematics and, therefore, never begin their college ...
