ABSTRACT: Student engagement and participation in mathematics learning is increasingly mentioned in Australian policy and curriculum documents that focus on ways to improve student achievement. However, such ways are not always made clear, nor is what constitutes participation, engagement and community in primary and secondary mathematics classrooms. These elements are theorised and discussed to identify their meaning and their influences on teacher and student engagement in mathematics learning.
