Mathematics education is deeper than the mere transmission of content and includes, for example, the development of skills and competencies. This development has been aided by the cultivation of positive interactions in the classroom. At early ages, we review four factors that affect these interactions: resource availability, beliefs about learning and mathematics, mathematics anxiety, and gender gaps and stereotypes.

In Chile, as in many countries in the world, there are manifestations of gender inequality in education, which undermines everyone’s learning and developmen

Background: Stochastics’ teacher education has become an important research topic since mathematics teachers are usually responsible for the teaching of stochastics (statistics and probability) in schools. However, the emergence of new theoretical approaches has resulted in the identification of a problem: organizing and describing the necessary professional knowledge to teach stochastics. Objectives: The aim of this research is to characterize the didactic-stochastic knowledge needed for pre-service mathematics teachers, considering Chile as a case study.
