>There seems to be some bemusement in the media about efforts to decolonise the curriculum in mathematics. Some think this means removing concepts from the curriculum to replace them by others. Let’s look at one example. Why are there 360° in a circle?
Maybe it's too early in the morning, but what does it mean to "decolonize the curriculum in mathematics"? And what does the series of tweets have to do with it?
It reads like a series of tweets explaining that early human civilizations approximated things as best they could, and future civilizations have continually improved upon that. Am I missing something?
