This chapter is based on work done for more than 40 years at Universite Laval, in mathematics courses for future secondary-level mathematics teachers. This work was initiated by Bernard Hodgson, in collaboration with colleagues in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. It has been influenced by the long-time involvement of Bernard with the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG) and his subsequent involvement at the international level in mathematics education. Since joining the Department in 1995, I have been responsible for one of these courses, which places a strong emphasis on problem solving, using as an important resource Thinking Mathematically (Mason et al., Thinking Mathematically. Addison-Wesley, 1982). This chapter is based on this course, entitled “Mathematiques fondamentales pour l’enseignement” (Fundamental Mathematics for Teaching). |
