Descrição

This paper describes a qualitative case study dealing with the views about mathematics teaching and learning held by students of a school involved in a experience of new curricula, stressing active methodologies and groupwork. At grade 7, the students noticed important differences in the mathematics classes and welcomed them. At grade 10, students had a general positive attitude towards mathematics but did not perceive major chnages. However, they were very concerned with the implications of this experience for their academic progression.
