About this title

Synopsis

This is Volume 7, Issue 1 2005, a Special Issue of 'Mathematical Thinking and Learning' which looks at Advanced Mathematical Thinking. Opening with a brief history of attempts to characterize advanced mathematical thinking, beginning with the deliberations of the Advanced Mathematical Thinking Working Group of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education. The articles follow the recurring themes: (a) the distinction between identifying kinds of thinking that might be regarded as advanced at any grade level and taking as advanced any thinking about mathematical topics considered advanced; (b) the utility of characterizing such thinking for integrating the entire curriculum; (c) general tests, or criteria, for identifying advanced mathematical thinking; and (d) an emphasis on advancing mathematical practices.
