  • What appeals to you most about the idea of teaching in the poetic mode? If you are more comfortable with an analytical pedagogy, what steps can you take to get better at telling a story? How can you convert the objectives you want to reach into the climaxes of an ongoing story?
  • In what ways can you take the idea of “rehumanizing” math and expand it in your classroom? What are some methods to reengage your students’ imaginations?
  • How does Andrew’s illustration of the twelfth-century astronomers beginning to use trigonometry give you ideas for teaching by telling a story? What are the tensions he creates, then resolves? How does he keep the “story” going over several days or lessons?
  • To take up Andrew’s challenge: Is there one concept you can identify whose history would make a good story? Is there a particular application of math that you could work backwards from to the time when people first began to understand how to use it?
