Hello and Welcome to www.haveyougotmathseyes.com
My name is Terry Maguire and my passion is mathematics education. When I was completing my doctoral thesis in 2000, I came across a book called Through Mathematical Eyes – Exploring Functional Relationships in Math and Science (Ritchhart 1997) which I developed further as an approach to making real world maths more visible.
