This book is a selection of 15 papers developed by participants in
ICME 13 held in Hamburg , presenting insights from the latest
research on the andragogy of adult and lifelong learning of
mathematics. It also investigates open questions, such as numeracy
and mathematics skills, social and psychological influences on
learning environments, as well as economic and political demands.
The chapters offer examples, while at the same time highlighting
important directions for further research. The book is divided into
four parts: The first section provides an overview on the concept
of "numeracy", and the second focuses on adult students who are
learning mathematics; the third part presents a teachers' focus and
the final part covers overarching themes. The book is of interest
to classroom teachers, university teacher educators, and
professional development providers.

While there are many areas of focus in mathematics education, there
are many good reasons for offering applicable mathematics education
in schools. Let us just mention two of the most important reasons.
On the one hand, a focus on the practical side of mathematics
presents a convincing and motivating answer to the typical student
question: 'Why study mathematics?' On the other hand, education
policy seems inclined to move in this direction by implementing
international testing, curricula and catalogues of skills. The most
important feature of this book is that the authors speak directly
to you, the mathematics teachers. The authors attempt to draw you
into a continuous dialogue about activities you are asked to engage
in as learners. You are asked to do something, and through doing
and reflecting you will gain first-hand experience of new
approaches and materials. In this way, you can learn to teach
applicable mathematics to your students using your own experience
as learners of applicable mathematics, motivated and supported by
the book. Here applicable mathematics education is the phrase we
use to describe reality-based mathematics education. Reality-based
mathematics relies heavily on problem solving and a positive
disposition to engage with mathematics. Modelling reality and
simulating selected aspects of reality are other pillars of
reality-based mathematics education.
Dieses Sachbuch zeigt Wege zu einem attraktiveren
Mathematikunterricht in Beispielen auf, die als Abschlussarbeiten
seiner ehemaliger Studenten (und Coautoren) praxiserprobt sind. Das
Buch ladt zur Reflexion der eigenen Erfahrungen mit
Mathematikunterricht und einer Diskussion daruber ein. Farbige
Kasten fordern zur aktiven Teilnahme oder Weiterfuhrung der
Projekte auf.
In diesem Essential wird an Beispielen erlautert, wie und mit
welchen Herausforderungen gute realitatsbezogene Aufgaben und
Unterrichtseinheiten gefunden und genutzt werden koennen. Dabei
werden die Leserinnen und Leser immer wieder eingeladen, selbst
etwas auszuprobieren.
