Book review: Teaching fractions through situations: a fundamental experiment

Résumé

Book review of the book : Teaching Fractions through Situations: A Fundamental Experiment, Brousseau, G., Brousseau, N., & Warfield, G., Dordrecht Heidelberg New-York London, Springer, 2014, 215 pp.,ISBN 978-94-007-2714-4 The first Felix Klein Award of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) was awarded to Professor Guy Brousseau in 2003. This distinction recognized the essential contribution Guy Brousseau made to the development of mathematics education as a scientific field of research, through his theoretical and experimental work. There was only one book by Brousseau (1997) until now and the publication of this second book is a very important event, not only due to the fact that Brousseau’s work has to be more accessible to a large public, but because of its very particular content. The originality of Brousseau’s work lies in the integration of epistemological, cognitive and social dimensions, and the theoretical framework which has been developed in order to understand the social interactions between students, teachers and knowledge that take place in the classroom and are the conditions of what is learned by students and how it can be learned.
