Teachers and Curriculum, 17(1), 89–99.2382-0349https://hdl.handle.net/10289/11236This study investigated the impact on Year 10 students’ attitudes towards mathematics when learning mathematics in a sporting context. A closed ended, self-reported questionnaire with Likert type statements was used to collect data. Individual statements were analysed by comparing the percentage of students agreeing or disagreeing pre-teaching and post-teaching. In this study, students’ attitude comprised of their confidence, awareness of mathematics and engagement. This study suggests that when students learn in a sporting context, their confidence, seeing the importance of mathematics and engagement increases. The paper also considers implications for teachers, teacher educators and for scholars who are interested in further research.application/pdfenThis work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercialShareAlike 4.0 International License.Journal Article
