Bücher der Reihe ICME-13 Topical Surveys

This survey of the state of the art on research in early algebra traces the evolution of a relatively new field of research and teaching practice.

This volume discusses semiotics in mathematics education as an activity with a formal sign system, in which each sign represents something else. The significance of signs for mathematics education lies in their ubiquitous use in every branch of mathematics.

This book classifies and discusses in detail the three different research periods on students' and people's intuitions and difficulties concerning probability: early research focused on cognitive development, a period of heuristics and biases programs, and the current period marked by a multitude of foci, approaches and theoretical frameworks.

This survey focuses on the main trends in the field of calculus education. Since the diversity of the research in the field makes it difficult to produce an exhaustive state-of-the-art summary, the authors discuss recent developments that go beyond this survey and put forward new research questions.

This survey on the modernity of ethnomathematicsaddresses numerous themes related to both ethnomathematics and mathematicseducation.

This bookpresents a synopsis of six emerging themes in adult mathematics/numeracy and acritical discussion of recent developments in terms of policies, provisions, andthe emerging challenges, paradoxes and tensions.

This open access Topical Survey offers a brief overview of the current state of research on and activities for mathematically gifted students around the world.

and iv) the role played by the use of both multiple-purpose and ad hoc mathematical action types of technologies in problem-solving contexts - what ways of reasoning learners construct when they rely on the use of digital technologies, and how technology and technology approaches can be reconciled.

This ICME-13 Topical Survey provides a review of recent research into statistics education, with a focus on empirical research published in established educational journals and on the proceedings of important conferences on statistics education. teachers' role in statistics education; students' role in statistics education;

Examining current thinking on five critical social and political areas in mathematics education, this book focuses on conditions in teaching and learning, and social life and its influence on mathematics teaching, learning and achievement. In five sections, it explores the issues in different contexts and from different ideological perspectives.

This ICME-13 Topical Survey reviews the state-of-the-art by first exploring the roots and scope of design science. Lastly, it explores developments in design science from a national and international perspective, while also discussing current trends in design research.
