The Sociology of Mathematics Education: Mathematical Myths / Pedagogic Texts

By Paul Dowling

Book Overview

The author argues that the reason why children still 'fail' at maths at school - despite the shift to 'easier' and more 'approachable' maths teaching since the 1960s - is because of the textbooks in use.
