Themes and Methods for the Teaching of Mathematics in a Waldorf School The presentations in this book are built on experiences from mathematics teaching in grades 7-12. The book does not offer a pedagogical collection of recipes but rather how one might engage the pupils. The presentation is a pedagogical handbook. It addresses such topics as the history of mathematics, Fibonacci numbers, nature’s geometry, the step from arithmetic to algebra, and gaining confidence in thinking.
