Mathematical creativity from an educational perspective: Reflecting on recent empirical studies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter introduces Section III and highlights some of the theories, methods, and contributions of the five chapters within. One common thread running throughout this section is the focus on creative processes. This commentary chapter reviews some of the difficulties distinguishing between creative products and creative processes, and then delves into how the different chapters in this section view what is meant by creative processes. Finally, the ways in which creative processes can be fostered are discussed, with particular emphasis on the importance of the environment when aiming to promote mathematical creativity.
