A research and development project in teaching is described designed to examine whether and how it might be possible to bring the practice of knowing mathematics in school closer too what it means to know mathematics within the discipline by deliberately altering the roles and responsibilities of teacher and students in classroom discourse.

This volume considers the background of constructivism, explores what it means to carry out the process of mathematical thinking and describes how children engage in mathematical activity and how teachers can promote this activity.

It is argued that formal verifications of programs will not play the same key role in the development of computer science and software engineering as proofs do in mathematics because of the absence of continuity, the inevitability of change, and the complexity of specification.

Any claim that there can be only one “correct” interpretation of a piece of language seems unwarranted in the light of a constructivist theory of knowledge.
