Ability Stereotyping in Mathematics.
Ruthven, Kenneth
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v18 n3 p243-53 Aug 1987
Proposes that ability is a concept central to the current practices of mathematics teaching. Argues that the widespread view that mathematics learning is an ordered progression through a hierarchy of knowledge and skills subjects students to "ability stereotyping" and serves as a gross global model.
