| Abstract: | We consider different aspects of flexible thinking in mathematical contexts, and illustrate these by examples from recent mathematics classrooms. We argue that aspects of flexible mathematical thought can be encapsulated as an ability to use long-term declarative knowledge in novel situations. Both Karmiloff-Smith’s representational re-description and recent work in the psychology of memory are related to flexible thinking. |
