Building bridges between school mathematics and workplace mathematics
Résumé
In this paper, we investigate three examples from two articles written by lower-secondary students in which they identify school mathematics used in workplaces. Their articles are written as part of a project aiming to help students find mathematics relevant. The students provide documentation on advanced use of graphs, mean values, calculations, and formulas in two occupations, music management and physiotherapy. By using Evans’ (1999) approach to transfer, we identify similarities and differences between school mathematics and workplace mathematics. In line with Evans’ approach, we aim at building bridges between school mathematics and workplace mathematics.
