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

The Cultural Value of Mathematics
The Mathematics Teacher, 1923When one receives good news or feels the pleasant thrill after having accomplished a difficult task, his first impulse is to rush to some one and tell him of his new found pleasure. And so it is with me. I have had many happy hours and have experienced a peculiar pleasure which I know I could not have experienced had I not applied myself in the study ...

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 ...

The Cultural Value of Mathematics
The Mathematics Teacher, 1929A famous English mathematician and philosopher has defined mathematics as a science in which “we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we say is true or false.”- In all seriousness, there is some truth in this definition, but one may also maintain that it contains some exaggeration.

Calculating electron range values mathematically
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2004Abstract This paper describes an improved method for obtaining the electron range values, R opt , R 50 , R 50e , R ex and R p , which are used to characterize the shape of depth–dose distribution curves. This new procedure employs standard mathematical principles that can be applied to depth–dose data in order to more precisely determine ...

The value of mathematical talk
Practical Pre-School, 2003Talk is an important link between doing something and knowing something. Talking helps us make sense of what we see and hear. Through talking, new ideas become integrated with established ideas. But we all need something to talk about! Engaging in rich hands-on activities underpins children's developing vocabulary and communication skills.

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

Educational Values in Mathematical Teaching
The Mathematics Teacher, 1911Any member of the teaching profession—a profession which is closely bound by the demands of routine work—is likely to be tempted either to assume radical and extreme views, or else to become stereotyped and to follow tradition. Just which direction any individual will follow is largely a matter of temperament.
