Has math education failed?
A mathematician's lament
In Part One of our interview, we explore the reasons that noted author, mathematician and educator Paul Lockhart believes that math education has failed, and what he thinks we can do about it.
In subsequent videos, we will talk about Lockhart's journey from trouble-student to mathematical researcher to teacher, and go through each of his books, including "The Mending of Broken Bones: A Modern Guide To Classical Algebra," which came out May 13, 2025.
