When you click on an object in The Scale of the Universe 2 a small window of information about that object pops up.

The goal of the course is to assemble a toolkit for helping young children develop mathematically. The course is offered for credit at Arcadia University and for P2PU School of Math Future completion certificate to anyone in the world (open and free). Overarching themes: Personally meaningful and relevant mathematics achieved through projects, games, problem-posing and problem-solving. Computer-based mathematics, including interactive simulations, modeling tools, solvers, and children programming platforms. Lifelong learning for teachers, with the focus of online communities and networks for teacher support, and building your personal learning networks

"Conversations about mathematics education in this country pop up frequently in the media - and I have yet to come across anyone who is happy with the way things are in the learning of maths among the nation"s children. Many try to find out what goes wrong by conducting research. South Africa has about 150 researchers in mathematics education, and there are a number of special mathematics chairs of research and development at various universities. Funding foundations are generally very keen to contribute to research, especially if it is linked to development programmes and if some impact can be measured."
