It is important to point out that although we emphasize the role of domain-general variables we do not deny the relevance of mathematics subject-specific knowledge for mathematical understanding.
In fact, 'proof and proving are fundamental to doing and knowing mathematics; they are the basis of mathematical understanding and essential in developing, establishing, and communicating mathematical knowledge' (Stylianides, 2007, p. 289).
Today mirror symmetry is a major research topic in pure mathematics, and mathematicians are working to develop a mathematical understanding of the relationship based on physicists' intuition.
Today mirror symmetry is an active area of research in mathematics, and mathematicians are working to develop a more complete mathematical understanding of mirror symmetry based on physicists' intuition.
This article uses our evaluation of the Grade 9 assessment of mathematics to discuss the challenges in developing an assessment instrument to survey students' mathematical understanding within the context of intended reform curriculum and pedagogy.
Among these well-informed readers are racetrack touts with a profound mathematical understanding of odds-making.
Yet we still don't have a clear, mathematical understanding of volatility's source.
And it's existence was predicted by mathematical understanding of previous data, coupled with some prejudices about aesthetics, symmetry and how a decent universe ought to hang together.
Rather than simply memorising facts and figures, pupils will then have the ability to adapt their mathematical understanding depending on the required application.
"Play Works" designed by Roto Studio, a firm in Dublin, Ohio, is devoted to fostering not only literacy, but also mathematical understanding and what Dr. Hirsh-Pasek calls "cultural literacy": hence the "Mona Lisa".
The six areas of learning are: mathematical understanding; scientific and technological understanding; human, social and environmental understanding; understanding the arts and design; understanding physical health and well-being; and understanding English, communication and language.
