Abstract
The Australian Curriculum: Mathematics defines four proficiencystrands. The work from which they are drawn includes a fifth proficiency (productive disposition) that relates to students’ propensity to persevere and to perceivemathematics as worthwhile. We argue for the importance of productive dispositionas reflecting the importance of affect in mathematics learning. We link it with workin positive education, particularly around character strengths, to suggest ways inwhich mathematics teachers’ awareness of the importance of affect might be raised.Positive education may offer a means of putting productive disposition on theagenda in considerations of improving mathematics achievement.
