“…A sufficient comprehensive description of the multifarious role of the history of mathematics in mathematics education is given in Tzanakis and Arcavi (2000). The history of mathematics is utilized in the research field of mathematics education in different ways, such as in the formation of theoretical frameworks (Jankvist, 2009;Jankvist & Kjeldsen, 2011;Sfard, 1991Sfard, , 1995, as teaching and learning via primary historical sources (Fenaroli, Furinghetti, & Somaglia, 2014;Glaubitz, 2011;Jahnke, 2000;Pengelley, 2011Pengelley, , 2012, as a motivating factor in the learning of mathematics (Farmaki & Paschos, 2007), as a means to device educational material and implement a teaching approach (Jankvist, 2011;Panagiotou, 2011;Siu, 2000), and as evolutionary arguments (Piaget & Garcia, 1989). Difficulties in the effort to combine history of mathematics and mathematics education has also been considered.…”
