Handbag Friends by Sally Lloydjones
This contributed volume investigates the active role of the different contexts of mathematics teaching on the evolution of the practices of mathematical concepts, with particular focus on their foundations. The book aims to deconstruct the strong and generally wide-held conviction that research in mathematics constitutes the only driving force for any progress in the development of mathematics as a field. In compelling and convincing contrast, these chapters aim to show the productive function of teaching, showcasing investigations from countries and regions throughout various eras, from Old Babylonia through the 20th Century. In so doing, they provide a critical reflection on the foundations of mathematics, as well as instigate new research questions, and explore the interfaces between teaching and research.Sally Lloyd-Jones is a leading writer of inspirational books for children with particular expertise in conveying biblical truth to young children. She is the author of three best-selling children's Bibles: the Gold Medallion Award winning, Baby's First Bible; A Child's First Bible; and The Lift the Flap Bible.
After a 17-year career in children's publishing, Sally left her position as Publisher of Christian children's books at Reader's Digest in 2000 to devote more time to writing. She continues to write high quality Christian and inspirational titles that have a strong cross over into the general market and her titles consistently appear on the bestseller lists.
Sally is British and moved to the States in 1989 just for a year or two. She's still here. Born in Kampala, Uganda, raised in East, and West Africa and at a boarding school in the New Forest, England, she lives in NYC and every day she is grateful she gets to do what she loves. It's her dream come true.
