Vroutsis, Nikolaos; Psycharis, Giorgos; Triantafillou, Chrissavgi – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2022
In this article we address the 'educationalization' of authentic marine navigation tasks for upper secondary mathematics classrooms and their potential for students' learning. Our approach is based on boundary crossing and as well as on the distinction between realistic tasks (targeting students' familiarization with the marine navigation…

Selling, Sarah Kate – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2016
To learn mathematical practices, students need opportunities to engage in them. But simply providing such opportunities may not be sufficient to support all students. Simultaneously, explicitly teaching mathematical practices could be problematic if instruction becomes prescriptive. This study investigated how teachers might make mathematical…
