This book is the first to provide an in-depth, international analysis of the use of a set of mathematical competencies to develop Mathematics Education.
A previous analysis carried out for a Danish audience (Niss & Jensen, 2002) acts as a case study for this comprehensive volume. Surrounding the case study, a wealth of data has been amassed to fully analyze the past, present and future of the competency approach to the development of Mathematics Education on an international level, for a diverse, multi-national audience.
