Kuyers Math Curriculum
|
|
| Kuyers Institute mathematics curriculum project |
The Kuyers math curriculum project, begun in 2004, is now complete. Written and tested by a team of six math professors and teachers, these materials are designed to be used in conjunction with standard high and middle school curricula. Units include lesson plans and other support materials, including the development of an appropriate pedagogy as teachers may not be accustomed to some of the characteristics of the approach.
Similar in approach to the Charis project sponsored by the Stapleford Centre, the materials produced are available for download free of charge and are based on a broad Christian framework that
- upholds a view of truth that avoids both Enlightenment positivism and Postmodern skepticism
- shows a commitment to the relationship between mathematics and history, the arts, ethical systems, social justice, etc.
- teaches that mathematics can inspire delight and awe, pointing beyond itself to God and not merely serving as a means to acquire knowledge and wealth
- views math teachers as entrusted with a valuable gift and accountable to God for their stewardship of it
