News&Views: Scholarly teaching

As teachers and educators, we have a unique opportunity to continue to see the world through the eyes of a child. Together with our students, we engage in an ongoing quest to make sense of the world around us. We have opportunities to experience wonder and fascination with mathematical ideas new to us, concepts never truly understood, and alternative strategies for problem solving. The start of the new school year is a time to renew that sense of curiosity, enthusiasm, and optimism for teaching mathematics to children.
