Abstract
"Mathematics must be rigid and precise" say some. Others beg to differ. This session will draw on eminent researchers' discussions of "fuzzy" mathematics and its central importance in learning mathematics. We will explore several practical examples of ways teachers can draw out fuzzy mathematics and develop its potential. Fuzzy maths is a basis for true understanding.
