Math ed often focuses on the utility of place value before showing its elegance. My children's book removes learners from base 10 to make room for play, imagination, and wonder. Using story to teach, we can allow learners to play, explore, discover, and delight in possibility.
Teach mathematics as a story: a story of the encounter between humans and the patterns and relationships of the universe and their struggle and joy in discovering, understanding, and attributing meaning to it. https://t.co/ITkGsWgarY #mathlit
