3. A Vision for Maths Education
Continuing our section on progress in education, and maths education in particular, I would recommend to all of you a publication titled " Realizing a Vision of Tomorrow's Mathematics Classroom - A Handbook on Rich Learning Tasks" (G. Flewelling with W. Higginson, Queen's University, Ontario, Can.). This handbook looks at the relationship between Rich Tasks, Tomorrow's Student and Tomorrow's Teacher. It provides a deep insight into where we need to be moving maths education and encourages teachers to develop tasks for students that are more meaningful and that will result in improved learning.
Available from AAMT here: A Handbook on Rich Learning Tasks
