Abstract	How we perceive and define concepts should be a major concern for teachers and educators in general and for math teachers and educators in particular. This issue, however, is usually ignored or marginalised in curricula and classrooms, where textbooks form the major source of information, knowledge, meanings and definitions. The two words in the theme of this ZDM-issue—math and peace—are themselves good examples to explore. “What do we include in the math curriculum and what do we exclude, and why?” and “What do we mean by peace, and whose peace, and at what human and environmental cost?” are questions that the article raises and tries to point out how we should go about dealing with them.
