Social Creativity in the Design of Digital Resources to Afford Creative Mathematical Thinking
نویسندگان
چکیده
The M C Squared European FP7 project was about supporting social creativity in the design of resources ambitioning a new genre of mediation in mathematics education. The resources were e-books meshing narrative with dynamic and constructionist digital artefacts. The project generated four socio-technical environments, each involving a Community of Interest producing 64 very diverse c-books. Embedding mathematics in narratives with a constructionist interactive element is considered as an activity re-addressing teacher, learner and material identity in a context of critique of mathematics education paradigms tightly associated with conformity, accountability, austerity and revelatory approaches.
