Barwell, Richard – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2023
Our planet is facing a biodiversity crisis and mathematics is involved. In this article, I focus on reports of a wolf hunt to examine different ways in which mathematics contributes to this crisis, shapes our understanding of the ecosystem and guides future actions. My examination contributes to understanding the ethical dimension of mathematics…

Kollosche, David; Meyerhöfer, Wolfram – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
Maturity and citizenship in a democracy require that laypersons are able to critically evaluate experts' use of mathematics. Learning to critically reflect on the use of mathematics, including the acquisition of the mathematical knowledge and skills required to that end, has been repeatedly postulated as an indispensable goal of compulsory…

Noll, Jennifer; Clement, Kit; Dolor, Jason; Kirin, Dana; Petersen, Matthew – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Initial research has shown that simulating data from models created with computer software may enhance students' understanding of concepts in introductory statistics; yet, there is little research investigating students' development of statistical models. The research presented here examines small groups of students as they develop a model for a…
