Abstract
- The article focuses on the association of mathematics education in sustainability. It explores the Sterling's model of educational responses and Edwards' model of organizational approaches to sustainability and mentions its use as abstraction for mathematics toward sustainability. It says that mathematical approach for sustainability can be made by using the notion of sensing large numbers and chaos, which can empower and give metaphors for the nonlinear dynamics of environment to students.
