"Theorems in School" by Paulo Boero explores the intersection of history, epistemology, and cognitive processes in the teaching and learning of mathematics. The book delves into how mathematical theorems are not just mere abstract concepts but are deeply rooted in historical developments and philosophical ideas. Boero emphasizes the importance of understanding the cognitive aspects of learning theorems, proposing that this understanding can enhance classroom practices and improve student engagement. Through various educational contexts, the book offers insights and strategies for educators to effectively incorporate the rich narratives behind theorems into their teaching practices, fostering a deeper appreciation of mathematics among students.
