Abstract
In this chapter, some of the recent developments in mathematics education in countries with high mathematical attainment are considered. The most important innovations and initiatives that developing countries should and could take in order to become competitive in the global economy are discussed. The authors first look at the push towards problem solving and, in particular, how to teach and learn mathematics through problem solving. The development of the UK's Core Maths course, based on applications in the real world, is detailed. They also consider the importance of enhanced mathematics subject knowledge in the primary sector for developing countries as well as the development of mathematical foundation courses that provide learners with an appreciation of mathematical thinking, confidence and capability in tackling mathematical problems.
