In many elementary math classrooms, technology feels like an add-on or one more thing that we need to include. Whether we use adaptive programs to fill gaps or avoid screens to focus on “real math,” ...

Professor Clyde Wilson’s observation that “history is not a mathematical calculation or scientific experiment but a vast drama of which there is always more to be learned” has important methodological ...

Mathematics is a powerful tool to understand the world around us. It can model the physics, chemistry and biology of a wide variety of systems. But it can also be used to make predictions that can ...
