About this title

Synopsis

This book delves into the complexities and controversies surrounding secondary mathematics education, primarily in the United States. The author, a prominent figure in the field, presents a historical perspective on the subject, highlighting the shift from a European-influenced model to an American system tailored to meet the needs of a more diverse student body. The book explores the ongoing debate between proponents of classical mathematics, emphasizing mental discipline, and those advocating for a more practical, applicable approach. The author examines the arguments for and against making algebra and geometry elective subjects, considering the potential benefits and drawbacks for students. Additionally, the book discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by the integration of technology into mathematics education. Ultimately, the author underscores the significance of mathematics as a tool for developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, arguing for its continued relevance in modern education.
