PDF on ERIC Download full text
Almuna Salgado, Felipe – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
This paper aims to revisit and clarify the term problem context and to develop a theoretical classification of the construct of levels of context use (LCU) to analyse how the context of a problem is used to formulate a problem in mathematical terms and to interpret the answer in relation to the context of a given problem. Two criteria and six…

Doing Mental?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hobbs, Sandy; And Others – Scottish Educational Review, 1980
"Mental work" recorded in primary mathematics classes as part of the Classroom Interaction Process is not a simple, single activity of drill or quiz but a set of overlapping activities with different functions. A more analytical approach to mental work is advocated to enhance its usefulness as a classroom activity. (Author/SJL)
