Abstract
I claim that mathematics is constructed with the ambition of allowing for absolute agreement. Dealing with students’ thinking that deviates from the supposedly absolute agreement is a key problem for mathematics teaching. Some sources for such deviant thinking include the relationship between mathematics and modelled reality, and the “imaginary” nature of probability.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
