Abstract
This introduction sets the scene for the volume section 2 on the theme of learning and assessing mathematics with and through digital technologies. It first describes the section’s points of departure. Then each of the chapters of the section is briefly addressed. The introduction ends with a short reflection on the section as a whole, noting that the major content emphases are on algebra and geometry, with only limited attention to calculus, statistical reasoning, and proof. In closing, we call for a closer relationship between mathematics education research and educational science in general.
