Description

Acknowledging that all science relies on mathematics, this conference approaches mathematics as the key symbolization of the human intellect in all disciplines. Beginning with the sensorial foundations of mathematics, the exploration of order, sequence, and precision is viewed as a manifestation of the human tendencies. Problem solving, formula derivation, discovery approaches, the role of the materials, and the connections between arithmetic, geometry, and algebra will be viewed developmentally in response to the mathematical mind and its evolving needs from early childhood to adolescence. Classroom use of the history of mathematics will also be addressed.
