Teaching Mathematics

Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or mathematics:

    For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.
    Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)

    I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
    John Adams (1735–1826)
