MathTrek - Discovering New Ways of Scientific Thinking

Once upon a time, a group of scientists launched MathTrek - an effort to explore new ways of teaching Math through experience and experiment.

After 15 years, the MathTrek crew in command, coming from Austria, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom, happened to meet in Cyberspace to continue the MathTrek journey.

  • 1 MathTrek supports creativity through exploring the space of possibilities with tools and concepts hardly ever used before in education.
  • 2 MathTrek supports critical thinking confronting assumptions, hypotheses, models and conjectures with real data

A subtle thought may yet give rise to fruitful inquiry that can establish truths ofgreat value.

Learning from Questions - being able to ask good questions is a skill, that is rarely supported by the current educational system. MathTrek notebooks discuss questions that have advanced science. MathTrek encourages learners to ask questions. MathTrek provides powerful online tools for exploration and demonstrate their use. MathTrek ask questions to test knowledge comprehension.We appreciate curiosity.
