About the Book

This volume contains papers from the first three years of conferences of the Group for Research into Social Perspectives of Mathematics Education, which has been meeting twice yearly since 1986. The group's focus is the mathematics classroom as a sociocultural setting and the papers reflect the growing interest in the area within the mathematics education community. Contributors include people drawn from the fields of mathematics, mathematics education, sociology and philosophy. Contributors cover the following topics: the sociology of the mathematics classroom; ethnomathematics; discourse analysis; gender issues; cultural origins of mathematics; political implications of the National Curriculum; and "barefoot statisticians".

Table of Contents:
Part 1 The National Curriculum in mathematics - a critical perspective: the National Curriculum - implications for the sociology of mathematics classrooms, Rosalinde Scott-Hodgetts; is there more than one math?, Zelda Isaacson; the National Curriculum in mathematics - its aims and philosophy, Paul Ernest; the National Curriculum and mathematics - political perspectives and implications, Richard Noss. Part 2 The social context of mathematics education: classroom language and the teaching of mathematics, David Pimm; mathophobia, Pythagoras and roller-skating, Richard Winter; PGCE students and investigational approaches in secondary mathematics, Barry Cooper.
