dc.description.abstract | This paper focuses on using sociocultural theory to support a context-based approach to
teaching mathematics. A goal of the research was to explore the opportunities-to-learn of
using a context-based approach to enrich student engagement with mathematics. This paper
focuses on the practice of one female secondary school teacher as expressed through an
interview transcript. Data were analysed using a participation framework. Findings suggest
that aspects of a context-based approach to teaching mathematics can be used by teachers to
promote student engagement with mathematics in the secondary classroom. | |
