In this innovative book, Nathalie Sinclair makes a compelling case
for the inclusion of the aesthetic in the teaching and learning of
mathematics. Using a provocative set of philosophical,
psychological, mathematical, technological, and educational
insights, she illuminates how the materials and approaches we use
in the mathematics classroom can be enriched for the benefit of all
learners. While ranging in scope from the young learner to the
professional mathematician, there is a particular focus on middle
school, where negative feelings toward mathematics frequently
begin. Offering specific recommendations to help teachers evoke and
nurture their students' aesthetic abilities, this book: Features
powerful episodes from the classroom that show students in the act
of developing a sense of mathematical aesthetics. Analyzes how
aesthetic sensibilities to qualities such as connectedness,
fruitfulness, apparent simplicity, visual appeal, and surprise are
fundamental to mathematical inquiry. Includes examples of
mathematical inquiry in computer-based learning environments,
revealing some of the roles they play in supporting students'
aesthetic inclinations.
