Mathematics in the Time of the Pharaohs
Mathematics, 2019In writing the first book-length study of ancient Egyptian mathematics, Richard Gillings presents evidence that Egyptian achievements in this area are much more substantial than has been previously thought. He does so in a way that will interest not only

1994
The argument in this chapter is that mathematics, even before its professionalisation, has always been the domain of the select few. Attempts have been made, in recent times, to challenge the Eurocentric bias in mathematics and this has led to a greater appreciation of the mathematical contributions of different cultures.

Mathematical Generality, Letter-Labels, and All That
Phronesis, 2020Abstract This article focusses on the generality of the entities involved in a geometric proof of the kind found in ancient Greek treatises: it shows that the standard modern translation of Greek mathematical propositions falsifies crucial syntactical elements, and employs an incorrect conception of the denotative letters in a Greek geometric proof ...

Further subdivisions, and in particular decisions as to differential weighting, are likely to introduce ideological biases (discussed fully, for instance, by Ernest, 1991). Nevertheless most countries find it useful to attempt some more detailed statement in order to provide a basis for discussion of the curriculum.

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1969
Many people think of a subject in the school curriculum as one to be taught by the person employed by the school board for that purpose. Although they do not consider themselves teachers, most people teach at one time or another.

Mathematical Quotations for all Occasions
The Mathematics Teacher, 1976Quotations can inspire, delight, and provoke much thought about the many roles and aspects of mathematics. Quotations have a wide range of uses in the mathematics classroom. For example, these “stimulators” can be placed on assignment sheets, tests, duplicated exercises, or even in a special corner of a chalkboard or bulletin board—daily, weekly, or as

A mathematical physics for all students
The Physics Teacher, 1999For 23 years I have been teaching physics and other subjects in science and math in Chicago public high schools. In the 1970s, an integration consent decree issued in federal court mandated that, except for impaired learners, all students in the high school where I was teaching must take four years of science and mathematics.

Celebrating the mathematical brilliance of all children
Teaching Children Mathematics, 2019Students come to school with varying degrees of prior mathematics experiences, understandings, and levels of confidence—all of which can be challenging for teachers. Below are three strategies based on Universal Design for Learning (cast.org) to highlight and leverage the mathematical brilliance of all children, including children with dis/abilities.
