Asmail, Raeesa; Spangenberg, Erica Dorethea; Ramdhany, Viren – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Mathematics is frequently considered as value-free, centering entirely on abstract reasoning. However, more often than not, the teaching of values in mathematics classrooms takes place implicitly through the actions of the teacher. The role values play in mathematics learning is also a growing area of interest and is now viewed by many as a…
