The purpose of this study is to propose socio-critically open-ended problems (SCOEPs) as a novel theoretical framework for nurturing students’ critical mathematical literacy while respecting diverse values embedded in trans-scientific problems. First, we outline the socially open-ended problem─which is of current interest to Japanese researchers of critical mathematics education─and describe its nature and significance. Second, we derive issues from current research on social justice and ethics in mathematics education using a literature interpretive methodology and build a theoretical framework of SCOEPs to develop socially open-ended problems. We present several potential examples of classroom practices based on the SCOEPs framework that were implemented in Japanese schools to explore the impact of these questions on student’s engagement and thinking processes. We found evidence that the objectives of nurturing both social judgment skills within an ethical framework, as well as fostering mathematically and socially diverse solutions for authentic problems are integrated in SCOEPs. The framework can be described as the coexistence of the process of fostering social decision-making through mathematical thinking and the process of critically considering mathematical thinking to achieve social justice. This proposal has significant implications for the future directions of mathematics education in the 21st century.

This study reports on a classroom-based intervention that lasted eight lessons with the particular focus of exploring whether and how specific activities, strategies, and questions may promote an enquiring atmosphere in a mathematics classroom, i.e., a classroom environment in which students feel safe to investigate new mathematical ideas in order to produce, share, and test their conjectures in search for a proof. Although many researchers agree on the central role that conjectures and proofs should play in all students’ mathematical experiences, many students find it difficult to engage with conjecturing and proving. In this paper we argue that the classroom atmosphere has a crucial influence in helping students to overcome these difficulties and we focus our investigation on an English secondary mathematics classroom taught by the first author. Students’ responses to questionnaires, prompts, tasks, and interview questions were analysed in order to evaluate the impact of the intervention. The analysis suggests that specific activities, strategies, and questions can be used by teachers to facilitate an enquiring classroom atmosphere. However, for these to be effective, the teacher needs to explicitly teach students how to listen, question, and ponder in order to give students the tools to formulate conjectures and proofs.
