We do this by drawing upon the theoretical framework of mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT). A selection of international studies on the history and pedagogy of mathematics is used as starting points for discussing how the different domains of teachers’ MKT ‒ to a larger or smaller degree ‒ can profit from the history of mathematics. rv:
