PPT-Teaching mathematics mathematically: a reflection on resear

Anne Watson Professor of Mathematics Education University of Oxford February 16 th 2009 My claim Personal engagement in mathematics and reflection on the nature of that engagement is at the heart of good mathematics teaching and may make much of what is written about pedagogy redundant. However critical reflection denotes another level of reflection beyond what you might or might not cover in other forms of reflection eg diary journal Sometimes action is just too hot for us to consciously reflectinaction as the incident happens eg Lee Peng Yee. 28 .

It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.. : possible shifts of perspective.
