A collection of mathematical jokes characterising the field and the profession wth links to mathematician jokes sites.

Mathematical teaching at school or in kindergarten unfortunately is mostly not oriented at how children form their mathematical constructs. Rather is is taught as an afterthought of academic study of “how mathematics would be taught if human beings were robots or computers”. Unfortunately this puts many children off, it can lead to deep frustration and in the end leave them with a feeling that “mathematics is not for them” that carries over into adult life. But things could be much easier if human mathematical learning were taken into consideration. Here’s how.

This site will bring to you information on the training of children (or adults who like our methods) in arithmetics and from there on mathematics in general. Learning to count, then to calculate and later to grasp more complex mathematical constructs takes time. To some children it seems to come just naturally, but many others [...]
