Abstract

This piece of work was commissioned by Mathematics Mastery – a UKbased non-profit organisation using and advocating a pedagogical approach that seeks to enable all pupils to experience deep mathematical learning. This literature review contributes to the knowledge about deep mathematical learning. The review explores three mathematics education papers that contain ‘deep’ in their titles to consider the authors’ uses of ‘deep’ in the context of mathematical learning and any analytical or theoretical frameworks upon which they drew. We reveal that ‘deep’ was not always clearly defined in the research. Rather, the authors’ interpretations were left implicit in the terminology they used. A word frequency analysis revealed common words used across the articles. These data were used to offer a ‘lexicon for deep mathematical learning’ to assist teachers to describe the quality of pupils’ mathematical understanding.
