Abstract

In keeping with movements in society generally there has been, over the past several decades, an increasing interest in the social aspects of learning mathematics in school and using mathematics beyond school to meet the demands of life, work and leisure. In this paper I attempt to draw connections between the two; how what is learned in school, and how it is learned, might affect its competent and critical use after school. I argue that classroom practices of socialisation, as in social constructivist, Vygotskian and socio-cultural psychological approaches to teaching and learning mathematics do not tell the whole story; stories of subjectification must also be· told to help us understand how it happens that some school leavers are able to use mathematics to Iibratory and powerful ends and others in limited ways that deprive them of choice.
