By adding a new dynamic to lessons and approach in the classrooms, the author notes the benefit to teaching. Incorporating history of mathematics proved to be a great teaching practice-there was a sense of excitement and interest in the history classroom. There may be two reasons for this. One reason could be the students actually were interested in the historical topic and saw some relevance to what was being discussed or investigated. A second reason might be that the teacher was more interested using this strategy in the classroom which affected her teaching.
