A FIRST APPROACH TO THE TEACHING OF SERIES. SOME RESULTS IN CANADA AND UK

This paper gives an overview of an ongoing research project about the teaching and learning of series. At this very first stage some details about previous research results and the analysis of some textbooks will be shown. Although textbooks seem to give a great place to the teaching of numerical series, the approaches that are usually used do not encourage the use of different registers nor the construction of meaning for this concept.
