Critical mathematics education has developed in many directions and has a broad range of approaches. There will probably be many different ways of expressing critical mathematics education. The book, An Invitation to Critical Mathematics Education by Ole Skovsmose (2011) has elucidated critical mathematical education by discussing and reinterpreting its concerns and preoccupations. He reinterprets thoughts and arguments that have been taken for granted and premised in mathematics education, and also discusses unquestioned widespread notions by associating them with his projects or specific practices carried out by him and his colleagues. This review intoduced and examined his crucial notions of critical mathematics education, such as "Diversity of situations," "Students' foreground, Landscapes of investigation," "Mathemacy," and "Uncertainty." These notions will make you to meet his theories with his pratices and look back on something overlooked in mathematics education.
