Abstract

In this workshop a photography-based aesthetic learning activity will be conducted, and mathematic didactical aspects discussed. The workshop is based on the "Mathematics and photography" research project conducted at Volda University College in the period from 2016-2018. Based on Dewey’s theory on aesthetical learning experiences, we developed a photography activity with in-service teachers and studied how teachers’ visual attention was influenced by the photography and discussion activity. The workshop will encourage participants to re-see and study the outdoor environment and connect real life to school mathematical contexts.
