Description:
Realistic mathematics education (RME) is guided by the notion that mathematics is the human activity of mathematizing the world. In much of the RME literature, mathematizing is theorized to be an individual activity. In this paper I extend these ideas and discuss how mathematizing is mediated by, and distributed across, cultural artifacts. Such a cultural perspective on RME is a necessary consequence of RME’s first principles, and has implications many of RME’s key principles. Exploring these implications is the next frontier in RME research
