Abstract
Open peer commentary on the article “Roles and Demands in Constructionist Teaching of Computational Thinking in University Mathematics” by Chantal Buteau, Ana Isabel Sacristán & Eric Muller. Abstract: I draw on Buteau, Sacristán and Muller’s article and Papert’s work to underline a possible reconceptualization of the notion of expertise in mathematics. This leads me, in turn, to reflect on the role and challenges for the mathematics teacher adopting these views.
