Citizenship Education in the Context of School Mathematics
Abstract
This paper suggests that mathematics has a role in citizenship education because it has the potential to help us understand our society and our role in shaping it. Through an examination of ways the study of mathematics can help students to identify and pose problems, the author argues that mathematics education is crucial in the development of informed, active and critical citizens in a society whose structures are largely mathematical.Downloads
