How will your school respond?
I have been in math education for over 25 years. Only now have I begun to see more interest in math history. But, that interest has to be centered, not marginalized or patronized.

Thank you Erica! I love this piece, & I'm humbled that it resonated with you. Still working on this every day, but giving students that autonomy changed the way I view teaching. :)
I'm working with @nctm to get a strange typo/edit that needs to be fixed. Hopefully updated soon!

"@Math4HF is quite possibly the most profound meditation on mathematics I have read. [It] not only invited me to savor my past mathematical experiences, but also challenged me to become a more generous person."
Blown away by this review. @theartsfuse
