Abstract

Mathematics is a ubiquitous and vital substrate on which our culture is built. Yet this fact is seldom fully exploited in educational contexts. The first step must, in our view, be to open the black box of invisible mathematics to more people, (see Hoyles, 2015). A key challenge for task design and an organising design principle is to exploit digital technology to reveal more of what mathematics actually is; first, by offering a glimpse of the mathematical models underlying a given (and carefully chosen) phenomenon; and second, by fostering an approach to mathematical tasks that transcends the purely procedural. We describe in this paper how we have attempted to address these challenges.
