2. 1. Syllogistic Analysis and Cunning of Reason in Mathematics Education

   Author : Yang Liu; Arne Engström; Jiansheng Bao; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics education; mathematics teaching; syllogistic analysis; cunning of reason; change of perspective; didactic transposition; classroom instruction; textbook writing; Matematik; Mathematics;

   Abstract : This essay explores the issue of organizing mathematics education by means of syllogism. Two aspects turn out to be particularly significant. One is the syllogistic analysis while the other is the cunning of reason. READ MORE

4. 2. Pedagogic practice between tradition and renewal : A study of the new mathematics curriculum in Mozambique

   Author : Balbina Mutemba; Candia Morgan; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Mathematics Education; Matematik och lärande;

   Abstract : The new school mathematics curriculum in Mozambique, introduced in 2008, is partly competency-based and it advocates a more student-centred pedagogy. The most salient innovative features are the incorporation of mathematical competencies related to the development of students’ reasoning skills, including argumentation, justification and analytical thinking, and the use of heuristic or inductive methods that promote meaningful students’ participation.

5. 3. Mathematics textbooks for teaching : An analysis of content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge concerning algebra in Swedish upper secondary education

   Author : Wang Wei Sönnerhed; Berner Lindström; Jonas Emanuelsson; Ingemar Holgersson; Göteborgs universitet kommunikation och lärande Institutionen för pedagogik; []
   Keywords : mathematics textbooks; school algebra; solving methods; factorization; solving quadratic equations; mathematics teaching; content knowledge; pedagogical content knowledge; geometrical models; algebra history; embedded teaching trajectories;

   Abstract : In school algebra, using different methods including factorization to solve quadratic equations is one common teaching and learning topic at upper secondary school level. This study is about analyzing the algebra content related to solving quadratic equations and the method of factorization as presented in Swedish mathematics textbooks with subject matter content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) as analytical tools.

6. 4. Problem solving in mathematics textbooks

   Author : Daniel Brehmer; Andreas Ryve; Johan Lithner; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics textbooks; problem solving; textbook analysis; upper secondary school; Didactics; didaktik;

   Abstract : The aim of this study is to analyse how mathematical problem solving (MPS) is represented in mathematical textbooks for Swedish upper secondary school. The analysis comprises dominating Swedish textbook series, and relates to uncovering a) the quantity of tasks that are actually mathematical problems (MPs), b) their location in the chapter, c) their difficulty level, and d) their context.

7. 5. Proof-related reasoning in upper secondary mathematics textbooks : Characteristics, comparisons, and conceptualizations

   Author : Andreas Bergwall; Andreas Ryve; Kimmo Eriksson; Kristina Juter; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics textbook; upper secondary school; proof-related reasoning; Mathematics Applied Mathematics; matematik tillämpad matematik;

   Abstract : Proofs and proving are difficult to learn and difficult to teach. A common problem is that many students use specific examples as evidence for general statements. Difficulties with proofs are also part of the transition problems that exist between secondary and tertiary schooling in mathematics. READ MORE
