Date: October 4, 2022

Seymore Papert viewed mathematics as one of the great jewels of achievement of the human mind instead of what he called math – the boring stuff kids do in schools with putting in numbers. Technology can help create meaningful learning experiences that honor student thinking and value student input, similar to Papert’s vision for mathematics.
