Professor James Arthur was recently featured in an article by UofT News entitled Teaching and learning math: what your child needs now.
The article speaks to current issues in mathematics education and how best to approach the instruction of this subject. The article is partially a response to various news articles about the subject of mathematics education and the current situation with Alberta parents over how mathematics is being taught. It’s also a response to the recent drop in the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s ranking of Canada in math ability among 15-years-olds.
