There are many people interested in improving the teaching of mathematics. Here are a few links:
- At the Open University in the UK you can get degree in "Mathematics and its Learning": https://www.open.ac.uk/courses/maths/degrees/bsc-mathematics-and-its-learning-q46 https://www.open.ac.uk/courses/maths/degrees/bsc-mathematics... There is a reasearch group at the OU behind this.
- Department of Mathematics Education at Loughborough University: https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/maths-education/ https://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/maths-education/
- Mathematics Rebooted by Lara Alcock: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/mathematics-rebooted-9780198803799?cc=gb&lang=en https://global.oup.com/academic/product/mathematics-rebooted... (She's at Loughbourgh, linked above. She has also written some books for University level mathematics.)
- Frank Farris' gorgeous book "Creating Symmetry" (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691161730/creating-symmetry https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691161730/cr...), which has this brilliant passage:
This belief that my motivation deserves mention moves me to call this a postmodern mathematics book. By contrast, modern mathematics books were written in the twentieth century by intentionally voiceless authors for an intended audience of "the hypothetical anybody", which made the books feel cold and inaccessible, at least to me. Postmodern books are situated in time and place, taking into account the identities of both reader and author. Here I am, writing to reach you: please join me.
