How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it. |

A winner will be selected from each age group: preschool ages 1-7; grade school ages 8-12; and high school ages 13 -17.

Living Math Forum |
|
This is an on-topic list dedicated to the discussion of "living math" - mathematics education using living books and materials, as opposed to traditional curricula as the primary learning tool. Discussion applies to mathematics learning from birth to adult self education, with the understanding that arithmetic is only one feature of mathematics as a whole. Math history topics will apply as well. Educators using Charlotte Mason, Thomas Jefferson Ed (relaxed classical), Montessori, Waldorf and unschooling methods may benefit from the exchange of ideas. |
