Adding diversity to mathematical connections to counter Klein’s second discontinuity
For instructors that try to make university mathematics courses relevant to future secondary school teachers, doing so generally involves making connections between university mathematics content and school mathematics content–in attempts to coun-ter what Felix Klein referred to as a “double discontinuity.” In this paper, I consider the nature of the mathematical connections that bridge these two domains, and common distinctions made in extant literature between them, such as directionality.
