Now suggestions for curious and interesting ‘Mathematics’. This means strange facts, anecdotes, paradoxes, portraits of eccentric mathematicians, mathematical philosophy, quotes and mathematics education.

“The only way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.” – Paul R. Halmos

“Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding.” – William Paul Thurston

“The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny…’” — Isaac Asimov

“I used to think that maths teachers were all teaching the same subject, some doing it better than others. I now believe that there are *two effectively different subjects being taught under the same name, ‘mathematics’.*’

...‘relational understanding’ [means]… knowing both what to do and why. Instrumental understanding I would until recently not have regarded as understanding at all. It is what I have in the past described as ‘rules without reasons’, without realising that for many pupils *and their teachers* the possession of such a rule, and ability to use it, was what they meant by ‘understanding’.” Richard Skemp (https://atm.org.uk/write/MediaUploads/Journals/MT077/Relational_Understanding_and_Instrumental_Understanding_–_Richard_R._Skemp.pdf)

Spoke with company, they are going to sort a replacement and suggested keeping broken one and try to secure.

So far so good, just not strong enough to hold the butcher paper pad.
