    Forman, E. A. (2014). Communities of Practice in Mathematics Education. In Encyclopedia of Mathematics Education (pp. 78-81). Springer Netherlands.
    The author cites studies that show children, adolescents and adults demonstrate higher levels of math proficiency outside of school than in school. Another study cited by the author discusses how social interaction is an important resource for people solving math problems in their everyday lives. The author points to another study that investigated the type and quality of a person's CoP on their proficiency in math.
