Jäder, Jonas; Lithner, Johan; Sidenvall, Johan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A selection of secondary school mathematics textbooks from twelve countries on five continents was analysed to better understand the support they might be in teaching and learning mathematical problem solving. Over 5700 tasks were compared to the information provided earlier in each textbook to determine whether each task could be solved by…

Vaninsky, Alexander – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2011
This article introduces a trigonometric field (TF) that extends the field of real numbers by adding two new elements: sin and cos--satisfying an axiom sin[superscript 2] + cos[superscript 2] = 1. It is shown that by assigning meaningful names to particular elements of the field, all known trigonometric identities may be introduced and proved. Two…
