Snezana LawrenceSt. Edmund’s Catholic School, Dover
GATSBY fellowship 2004/5
KS3 & 4 and the History of Mathematics
![Page 2: Snezana Lawrence St. Edmunds Catholic School, Dover GATSBY fellowship 2004/5 KS3 & 4 and the History of Mathematics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55142752550346e7488b5ac8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Existing resources in the History of Maths for KS3 & 4
• Majority aimed at university and post-graduate level
• Some can be used by teachers, but very time-consuming exercise if they do not have maths history training
• No way of telling of the accuracy of material because not peer assessed

Divisions…
• Primary resources sites• Accumulative sites - ones that get built up over
time (not necessarily primary resources but wealth of material)
• Mutating sites - ones that change regularly(and have or don’t - archive of old material)
• ‘List’ sites - with or without original material• Purpose-made sites - for existing courses, or
developed because of the special interest or expertise of the owner

Anything in between…

Few good examples
• All of the models mentioned could be used and/or combined
• Best sites already are not exclusively one or the other…
• We can learn from sites that are concerned with the teaching of mathematics but not necessarily have any content in relation to the history of mathematics
![Page 14: Snezana Lawrence St. Edmunds Catholic School, Dover GATSBY fellowship 2004/5 KS3 & 4 and the History of Mathematics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55142752550346e7488b5ac8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What will be used and how
• Primary resources sites (Gallica, Cornell University Library)
• List sites for further research (The Maths Forum @ Drexel)
• Purpose-made sites for existing courses at the universities worldwide
• Links to good printed sources

Some guiding lights
• Internationalisation• Understanding different cultural approaches• Interdisciplinary approach• Creative, intellectual fascination• Schematising• ‘grabbing’ at the apparatus needed • Elegance of old proofs/discoveries
![Page 16: Snezana Lawrence St. Edmunds Catholic School, Dover GATSBY fellowship 2004/5 KS3 & 4 and the History of Mathematics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55142752550346e7488b5ac8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some guiding lights 2
• Comparison and links with the arts• De-trivialisation• Studying ‘old masters’ – seeing yourself in the
context of a creative tradition• Aesthetic view and approach• Development of intuition, induction and analogy• Interdepndence
![Page 17: Snezana Lawrence St. Edmunds Catholic School, Dover GATSBY fellowship 2004/5 KS3 & 4 and the History of Mathematics](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070305/55142752550346e7488b5ac8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Some guiding lights 3
• Story telling – taking possession of the story/topic as their own
• Familiarity – taking the torch to the next person
• Rather than large number of projects, worked out scheme, links, cross cultural and interdisciplinary approach (benefits for teachers as well as pupils).
