Mathematics Education Across Time and Place traces how societies have defined and taught mathematics, and how those choices shaped curricula, methods, and assessment. The work uses fictionalized educators—rooted in historical documents—to bring different eras and systems to life.

Readers encounter a wide geographic and chronological sweep: ancient Greece and Persia, Islamic Baghdad, Elizabethan England, revolutionary Paris, North American one-room schools and modern Zimbabwe. These portraits show how local institutions and social needs guided what was taught and how.

Valuable for teachers, teacher educators, and historians, the book situates classroom practice within broader social and curricular debates, helping readers compare approaches and draw lessons for contemporary instruction.

  • Two-millennium comparative history of mathematics teaching
  • Document-based fictional narratives that illustrate pedagogy
  • Focus on curriculum, assessment, and social context
