People's opinions about how best to teach mathematics are often heavily influenced by their assumptions of the nature of learning mathematics itself. The authors of this text on teaching and learning mathematics all hold the view that mathematics is a form of intelligent problem-solving which plays an important part in children's lives outside the classroom as well as in it. One theme of the chapters is that an important part of teaching at school is to make explicit for children mathematical ideas which have already been picked up and used in more informal settings. The authors also stress the social construction of children's mathematical knowledge at school through the acquisition of new modes of representation which increases the power of ther mathematical understanding.
