Starting from a description of two lessons on quadratic equations in a junior high school of Tokyo, this paper attempts to throw new light on the principles and philosophies underlying secondary mathematics teaching in Japan.

To put this description in perspective, some examples of analogous Danish conditions are mentioned.

I denna artikel redogörs för tankarna bakom det danska Initiativet Matematik- undervisning och demokrati. Projektet har särskilt betonat vikten av att lära och använda matematik som en grundläggande nödvändighet för alla i en fungerade demokrati. Det nordiska samarbetet har bl a tagit sig uttryck i ett växande nätverk av matematikdidaktiker och forskarkurser om centrala frågeställningar inom det matematikdidaktiska kunskapsområdet.
