Teaching mathematics from a historical perspective will lead to greater understanding, student inspiration, motivation, excitement, varying levels of learning, and appreciation for this subject. This thesis will develop four units that will incorporate original source documents and selected historical topics surrounding computation, numbers, and early calculating devices. Many of the units will center on the Rhind Papyrus and The Treviso Arithmetic. These units will be appropriate to middle school, with an emphasis on 6th grade. 2006-08-15T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2224 https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3588&context=etd Copyright by the authors.
