Abstract
In this contribution we want to discuss some classroom activities, whose overall aim is to change pupils’ conceptions and beliefs of the role of real-world knowledge in mathematical classrooms activities, and to develop in them a positive disposition toward more realistic mathematical modelling. These activities make extensive use of cultural artefacts that could prove to be useful instruments in creating a new tension between school mathematics and the real world with its incorporated mathematics.File in questo prodotto:
