EDUCATION – 2022/2023
01 – VIEWS ON AND APPROACHES TO (RESEARCH IN) MATHEMATICS
EDUCATION
1. WHAT IS MATHEMATICS?
THE NATURE OF MATHEMATICS
ø Definitions
o Early definition
The science of quantity (Aristotle)
Niet per se uitgedrukt met nummers
o Famous definitions given by scientist
Mathematics is the science that draws necessary conclusions
(Benjamin Peirce)
Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different
things(Henri Poincaré)
Mathematics is the classification and study of all possible patterns
(Walter Warwich Sawyer)
o Definitions in dictionaries
The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of
quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols
The abstract science which investigates deductively the conclusions
implicit in the elementary conceptions of spatial and numerical
relations, and which includes as its main divisions geometry,
arithmetic, and algebra (Oxford English Dictionary)
The science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from
elemental practices of counting, measuring, and describing the
shapes of objects.
Mathematics is a broad-ranging field of study in which the
properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined.
o Definition by Wikipedia
o Definition by Courant & Robins
ø Features (De Corte et al., 1996)
o Dual nature of mathematics
“On the one hand, mathematics is rooted in the perception and
description of the ordering of events in time and the arrangement of
objects in space and the solution of practical problems in the real
world.
On the other hand, out of this activity emerge symbolically
represented structures that can become objects of reflection and
elaboration, independent of their real-world roots. (…)
This duality is acknowledged in the distinction between the pure and
applied mathematics.”
(De Corte, Greer & Verschaffel, 1996, p. 500)
o Intrinsic inaccessibility of mathematical (thinking) objects
9
, There is the intrinsic inaccessibility of mathematical (thinking)
objects (Duval, 2002), implying that their conceptual acquisition
necessarily passes through the acquisition of one or more semiotic
representations (verbal, symbolic, visual, auditory, tactile, etc.)
The development of mathematics is inextractably dependent on
systems of symbols and graphical means of envisioning information
(e.g., the Arabic place-value system compared to the Roman
system)
Multiplying in Roman vs. Arabic number system: what works
best?
LXVIII 68
x LIV x 54
Clearly, it is much easier to construct and apply
computational algorithmic procedures with the Arabic
decimal number system than with the Roman number
system.
And in the binary number system: what works best?
1000100
X 110110
o Hierarchically structured development
Both in the history of mathematics as a cultural development
(phylogeny) and an individual child’s mathematical development
(ontogeny) can be conceived in terms of various types and levels of
representations which build on one other as the mathematical ideas
become more abstract.
Example of the hierarchically structured development of math
