But today's schools often rob students of their natural curiosity and they end up experiencing math as something incoherent and frustrating. Carey shares the fascinating and somewhat shocking history of mathematics and encourages educators to shape the curriculum in a way that ignites the mathematical curiosity of students. Listen in for practical advice for the classroom and some genuinely good mathematical word problems to spark interest. Be encouraged when some students declare from the get-go that they are not math people. Get equipped to change their minds!
