This Is Your Brain on Math: The Science Behind Culturally Responsive Instruction

ED Surge

Though some argue that mathematics is culturally independent, I can say from experience that it is anything but. Culture embodies our deepest collective social norms and beliefs, and provides the reference points for future learning. The brain makes sense of the world, and mathematics, through culture.

The Making of A New Kind of Science

Stephen Wolfram

My journey in science began in the early 1970s—and by the time I was 14 I’d already written three book-length “treatises” about physics (though these wouldn’t see the light of day for several more decades). And in fact I was developing the diagrams as an integral part of actually doing the research for the book.
