Using realistic contexts in mathematics

Each month brings Cambridge Mathematics an Espresso – a small but intense draught of filtered research on mathematics education, expressly designed with teachers in mind. Each Espresso considers one particular issue in mathematics education, and how the latest good-quality research can provide helpful guidance or further reading. Perfect with a biscuit; sip gently and combine with a drop of professional judgement for a benevolent stimulant effect.

This month the Espresso is about Using realistic contexts in mathematics.
