[Maths-Education] Being outdated

[John Mason]

I have just today finished assembling a reader for our masters students:

Fundamental Constructs in Mathematics Education, RoutledgeFalmer, to 
appear in 2004.

it features a large number of short extracts from perhaps 150 or more 
sources.  it goes back as far as Plato.

The source of maximal relevance to us today for me is Freudenthal's 
mathematics revisited: the China lectures, Kluwer 1991.  it revisits 
and summarises, and puts into context most of the developments in 
mathematics education, at least in my view.  I wish i could be sure 
that those running National programmes had read and internalised it!
