Let History into the Mathematics Classroom
This book brings together 10 experiments which introduce historical perspectives into mathematics classrooms for 11 to 18-year-olds. The authors suggest that students should not only read ancient texts, but also should construct, draw and manipulate. The different chapters refer to ancient Greek, Indian, Chinese and Arabic mathematics as well as to contemporary mathematics. Students are introduced to well-known mathematicians—such as Gottfried Leibniz and Leonard Euler—as well as to less famous practitioners and engineers. Always, there is the attempt to associate the experiments with their scientific and cultural contexts. One of the main values of history is to show that the notions and concepts we teach were invented to solve problems. The different chapters of this collection all have, as their starting points, historic problems—mathematical or not. These are problems of exchanging and sharing, of dividing figures and volumes as well as engineers’ problems, calculations, equations and congruence. The mathematical reasoning which accompanies these actions is illustrated by the use of drawings, folding, graphical constructions and the production of machines.
History in Mathematics Education
This ground-breaking book investigates how the learning and teaching of mathematics can be improved through integrating the history of mathematics into all aspects of mathematics education: lessons, homework, texts, lectures, projects, assessment, and curricula. It draws upon evidence from the experience of teachers as well as national curricula, textbooks, teacher education practices, and research perspectives across the world. It includes a 300-item annotated bibliography of recent work in the field in eight languages.
Using History to Teach Mathematics
This volume examines how the history of mathematics can find application in the teaching of mathematics itself.
As firmas tomaram conta de tudo
A expansão do modelo produtivo do agronegócio tem reconfigurado a questão agrária brasileira e implicado em novas formas de uso, posse e propriedade da terra, de modo a ocasionar e intensificar os conflitos sociais, ambientais e territoriais. Isso ocorre mediante à territorialização de grandes corporações hegemônicas do agronegócio, que dispõem de diversas estratégias para se apropriar de extensas parcelas de terras, exercendo o controle direto sobre os territórios camponeses e agravando os processos de latifundiarização e concentração fundiária. Este livro revela como "as firmas tomaram conta de tudo", o que possibilitou identificar as estratégias de territorialização das corporações do agronegócio voltadas ao controle e à apropriação da terra, resultando num cenário marcado pelo redimensionamento da questão agrária e da dinâmica territorial. Procura-se, assim, desvelar e denunciar os impactos do agronegócio, que tem se apropriado de terras e territórios camponeses à medida que expande a monocultura e o latifúndio.
