14. Landscapes of Investigation with Seniors

The authors discuss how seniors engage in mathematical activities when inserted into landscapes of investigation. Through a qualitative approach, the researchers collected data in two meetings with a group of seniors who were involved in landscapes of investigation in a mathematics education project aimed at that age range. The authors also highlight that the activities fostered interaction/collaboration between the seniors, causing them to change their conception of mathematics, producing knowledge and raising philosophical, aesthetic, technological and mathematical discussions.
