Informal mathematical understandings: implications for further education
Terezinha Nunes
Department of Education, University of Oxford
There are many opportunities for people to develop mathematical understandings
outside school. We develop our thinking about quantities and relations between
them even when we might not be able to use numbers to represent the quantities or
the relations between them. This presentation will focus on research suggests that
informal knowledge of functional relations is often implicit and thus may be
incomplete. This presentation will highlight the basis and strengths of informal
knowledge about functions and suggest ways of capitalizing on this knowledge in
school.
