generalisations can be made between mathematical concepts. Furthermore‚ this report shall examine how teaching and learning theories influence the way in which we understand maths through the process of problem solving‚ generalisations‚ assumptions and proof‚ and also the common errors and misconceptions that may result from this. THE HISTORY OF MATHS From around 2000BC the Babylonian civilisation brought a style of mathematics which succeeded the Sumerian-Akkadian system following their invasion of Mesopotamia
