Performing Math

A History of Communication and Anxiety in the American Mathematics Classroom

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Performing Math uncovers math anxiety’s history in stage fright, and how math communication has involved a considerable amount of theatrical performance. Andrew Fiss argues for a new, performance-oriented history of American math education, one that can explain contemporary math attitudes and provide a way forward in reframing the problem of math anxiety.
