International trends in post-primary mathematics education: perspectives on learning, teaching and assessment

In the context of the review by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) of mathematics education at post-primary level in Ireland, this study focuses on a number of key international trends in mathematics education.While it is cognisant of developments in Ireland, it does not focus on Irish developments per se. However, in the final chapter we note potential areas of overlap, areas where there are significant divergences and possible lines of development in mathematics education at post-primary level in Ireland.
