Like abstraction and generalization which I described in my earlier posts here and here,visualization is central to the learning and understanding of mathematics. (Note that these processes are also natural
Making generalizations in mathematics
Making generalizations is fundamental to mathematics. Developing the skill of making generalizations and making it part of the students’ mental disposition or habits of mind in learning and dealing with mathematics is one
A challenging complex number problem with solution
This complex number problem was selected on the basis of its uniqueness in terms of phrasing things within the Argand diagram/locus context. While my proposed solutions might be short, bear
What is abstraction in mathematics?
Abstraction is inherent to mathematics. It is a must for mathematics teachers to know and understand what this process is and what its products are. Knowledge of it can enrich
