NINETEENTH-CENTURY CANADIAN SCHOOL MATHEMATICS

Authors

  • Harold Don Allen Rutgers University

Abstract

The present generation of Canadian educators is sufficiently removed in time from the schools and programs of the nineteenth century that Victorian practices in curriculum and instruction are tending to take on attributes of the legendary. However, abundant evidence can be found of the actual course contents and approaches in most, if not all, nineteenth-century subject areas. This is particularly true in school mathematics.
