Abstract

Mathematics education is a discipline in the overlap between mathematics and education, and solving problems in mathematics education requires expertise from both domains. Scholarly work in mathematics education is accomplished either by individual scholars who have expertise in both areas or as a collaboration among scholars who collectively have the necessary kinds of expertise. Illustrative Mathematics, an example of an organization that supports such collaborations, is described as one model for supporting scholarly work in mathematics education. Reasons why departments of mathematical sciences should actively support such scholarship are explored.
