In response to a recent Canada-wide survey, where it was found that mathematicians use computer programming much less in their teaching than in their research, an exploratory study involving 14 Canadian mathematicians sought to gain a deeper understanding of the place of programming in both contexts. To capture the differences in the degree of…

Media play an important role in young people's lives as an agent of socialization, both generally and with regard to mathematics. To understand the mathematics-related messages disseminated to young people via popular media, we analyzed portrayals of mathematics and mathematicians in over 40 media examples (television shows, movies, websites,…

Programming and the use of robotics present affordances for mathematics learning with application across a broad range of ages. However, realising these affordances in the classroom requires educators to recognise and build apron these potential opportunities for learning. This paper reports one component of a larger study, examining teacher…
