In the late 20th century, thinking on philosophy and the social sciences primarily focused on the centrality of language in understanding societies and individuals; important developments which have been under-utilized by researchers in mathematics education. In this revised and extended edition, this book reaches out to contemporary work in these broader fields, adding material on how progression in mathematical learning might be variously understood. The concluding chapter considers how teachers experience the new demands they face.
