The Power of Contextualized Learning in Mathematics Education

MATHS 302 explores the forces that shape our mathematical experiences. Some of these forces may have been beyond your control when you were younger, but now you are in a position to teach/tutor mathematics yourself. Write a 1500 word (±10%) essay in which you make one specific recommendation for mathematics teaching and/or learning. Justify your recommendation by describing and analysing one of your experiences through the lens of mathematics education ideas drawn from at least three of the readings from weeks 1-5.
