I define my ‘living mathematics’ as my living-educational-theory of teaching and researching mathematics. I define ‘Living Mathematics’ as the overarching values-based approach to the teaching and research of mathematics as a parallel to the distinction made between ‘living-educational-theory’ and ‘Living Educational Theory research’.

I ask the question ‘how do I improve my practice of teaching and researching here?’ by exploring how:

(1) as a teacher I can support mathematical thinking and the understanding of textbook concepts using a value-based approach and,

(2) as a researcher can enhance my mathematical thinking and modify, or create, mathematical models by calling upon my lived experiences, capturing and representing them in a symbolic form.
