Human Restoration Project | Rehumanizing Math: Better Content, Better Pedagogy, and Better Purpose w/ Sunil Singh @HumanRestorationProject | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 7 hours ago
Math educator and author, Sunil Singh, on Rehumanizing Mathematics from Conference to Restore Humanity 2023!
"Mathematically, we live in stirring times!" - Would you be able to believe that those words could be the opening sentence for a grade 10 textbook? Sadly, probably not. Mathematically, we still do. Even more so. But math education has been compromised by politics and runaway capitalism, and any romanticism for its awe and wonder has been shaded into obscurity. This has created a climate for inferior mathematics and limited value/purpose for learning the subject. Back in 1967–the time those words are from–my province of Ontario led a revolution in education with something called The Hall-Dennis Report, which recommended that learning in schools be centered around “students’ needs and dignity”. In order for us to get back to that humanistic vision for the subject of mathematics, we have to demand a higher quality of mathematics and a higher purpose for learning it–for all our students.
