If the benefit to students and teachers is not enough, incorporating history in the classroom directly correlates to the national council of teachers of mathematics (NCTM) principles and standards for school mathematics published in 2000. The Nevada mathematics standards – which are similar in nature to standards posed in principals and standards for school mathematics – include “problem solving, mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical connection” (rheault, lamarca, & brancamp, 2006; NCTM, 2000). Each of these four process standards can be enhanced in the classroom by incorporating the history of mathematics.
