A Question of Math
by Greg Beiles and Stacey Jacobs
Our role as is not to teach children how to passively adopt and adapt to mathematical ideas.
We strive to develop in our students the capacity to question, critique and consider how the world can be represented mathematically, to determine if there is more than one way or a best way to solve a problem, to question how and why the math they are learning works and why it matters. We should never just accept what is given as a single truth.
Stacey Jacobs and Greg Beiles have prepared an in depth discussion of how math is taught at The Toronto Heschel School.
