Informal mathematics in teacher education: The teachers’ voice

Informal Mathematics Education is an emergent field of research in which out of school spaces become protagonist of intentional learning designs. In our research we exploit cultural spaces such as art and history museums to engage teachers in a challenging teacher education programme called “InformalMath”. In InformalMath teachers work in communities of practices to design informal mathematics workshops, with the support of teacher educators and museum experts. The paper presents the theoretical choices underpinning the design and implementation of InformalMath and gives voice to the enrolled teachers.
