In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics.

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. In 2000 I was interested in what the simplest possible axiom system for logic (Boolean algebra) might be.

Many would say that modern exact science was launched in the 1600s with the introduction of what we can call the “ mathematical paradigm ”: the idea that things in the world can be described by mathematical equations—and that their behavior can be determined by finding solutions to these equations.

In the face of mounting evidence, education experts accepted a prescriptive fact: student success is not measured by milestones like ‘took a foreign language in fifth grade’ or ‘passed Algebra in high school’ but by how s/he thinks. Thinking Flexibly. Thinking Flexibly. Managing impulsivity. Persisting.

Academic enrichment in mathematics instruction could be prompting students with open-ended questions that don’t have a single right solution. When confronted with real-world math problems with multiple answers, students will be able to think more creatively and flexibly. How Can Academic Enrichment Boost Student Success?
