Abstract

This chapter focuses on Australasian research into the mathematical understandings of students in the middle years of school (years 4-9), a key stage in students' mathematical development in terms of engagement with mathematics and future study choices. Research focusing on student thinking across a range of content areas including rational number, space, algebra, and chance and data is reviewed. Studies on related issues including primary to secondary transition and teacher professional learning are also discussed. A range of areas for further research is presented.
