Abstract
- Over the past four decades, there has been a gradual emergence of a national mathematics education community, despite a decentralized education system in Canada. This community is marked by regional collaboration for curriculum development, national cooperation for teacher certification and mobility, research networks, and a national mathematics education group composed of mathematics teachers and teacher educators and mathematicians and mathematics education researchers united by their concern for the teaching and learning of mathematics. Reflecting back on the last 40 years of mathematics education in Canada, I explore multiple facets of this national mathematics education discourse community as a commentary on what is distinct about Canadian mathematics education.
