Dr Francis Su blew my mind when he talked about math SKILLS vs math VIRTUES on this week’s episode of Math Therapy podcast 🧠🎙. What do you think?! DYING TO KNOW👇

Today's guest is Francis Su (Francis Su) author of 'Mathematics for Human Flourishing', a book about the joy, wonder, and beauty that we innately desire in the world & how mathematical discovery can help us find them. This ep is full of deep questions and big ideas - links below!

The next 'Perspectives on Mathematics' seminar by Francis Su is this Friday 12 April at 2pm. We'll examine our cultural understanding of maths, including some myths about the social history of mathematics.

I attended a maths education meeting in Adelaide. This was my favorite talk and slide: Amie Albrecht gave a beautiful explanation of what maths reasoning looks like. Look at the rich variety of verb actions that are activated by maths reasoning. How many are we doing in class?
