What is the purpose of studying mathematics?

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. What is the story behind each of these messages? If we continue tell students that “they need to study this because it’s in the test” – we are expressing the worldview that tests are important. However why are tests important? By implication why is it important to do well in a test? For the future? Why? Why is any of this learning important?
