A Mathematics Education Research Journal

Pythagoras serves as an academic and professional forum for the presentation and critical discussion of
current research and developments in Mathematics Education in South Africa and internationally.
Pythagoras publishes original papers that significantly contribute to our understanding of mathematics
teaching, learning and curriculum, including reports of research (experiments, case studies, surveys,
philosophical and historical studies, ...), critical analyses of school mathematics curricular and teacher
development initiatives, literature reviews, theoretical analyses, exposition of mathematical thinking
(mathematical practices) and commentaries on issues relating to the teaching and learning of mathematics
at all levels of education.
