Yusuke Uegatani; Hiroki Otani; Taro Fujita – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
This paper aims to shed light on an overlooked but essential aspect of informal reasoning and its radical implication to mathematics education research: Decentralising mathematics.

Sheena Tan – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2025
The research on mathematical argumentation has mainly adopted a dialectic lens which focuses on understanding the abstract and logical development of reasoning in argumentation.
