The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of Mathematical Workings Spaces (MWS), which focuses on the mathematical work performed by students and teachers during mathematics sessions. It explores epistemological and cognitive aspects of mathematical work, develops MWS dedicated to observing how it depends on educational systems, and discusses applications and perspectives in mathematics education. The book is written for researchers and professionals in mathematics education and offers concrete examples from different educational systems.

This comprehensive and approachable book provides a friendly introduction to one of the most influential contemporary theories of mathematics teaching and learning. By centering its attention on the mathematical work undertaken by students and teachers during mathematics sessions, the theory of Mathematical Workings Spaces (MWS) has unveiled novel perspectives and avenues in mathematics education and mathematical thinking. Specifically, it empowers educators to identify and shape students' knowledge production processes.

The book's first part delves into the core of the theory, aiming to provide a deeper description and understanding of the epistemological and cognitive aspects of mathematical work. The second part explores the diverse MWS designed to observe how mathematical work is shaped by educational systems, taught, and appropriated by individuals. In the final part, the book discusses various applications and perspectives related to contemporary mathematics education, particularly concerning technological and digital tools, teacher training, and modeling activities.

In keeping with the spirit of the MWS theory, the book was written to showcase the conceptual unity at its core while also demonstrating the freedom and diversity of approaches allowed within it. Designed for researchers and professionals in mathematics education, it offers ample concrete examples from diverse educational systems worldwide to illustrate theoretical concepts and demonstrate their practical applications in practice and research.
