Take a look at our Teachers page for a summary of all the tools and resources we offer to teachers, as well as different tutorial videos.

We also have a large library with more than 70 tasks and lesson plans for Polypad, covering the entire mathematics curriculum.

Building our interactive courses takes a long time: from research to writing, graphics design, and programming. Unfortunately, we cannot promise when a specific topic will be finished. However, our team of writers and engineers is always working on new content. If you have a Mathigon account, you can subscribe to our email newsletter to receive regular updates.

Mathigon’s courses are divided into many small steps, and we want students to actively participate at every step before we show the next one.

However, when you first visit a page, there is a grey banner in the top-left corner which shows the approximate length of this chapter, and allows you to reveal all content at once. Later, you can also scroll to the very bottom of the page and click either “skip to the next step” or “reveal all steps”.

Please note that revealing all content will disable some of Mathigon’s personalisation features.

Not necessarily: the chapters within a course do build upon the ideas from the previous chapters, but students can always go back as needed.

No timeline can ever show everyone who has contributed to mathematics: because of limited space, but also because research and discoveries were often misattributed throughout history. On our timeline, we tried to select both those mathematicians and artifacts who had the greatest impact, and those who best show the diversity of mathematicians. We are regularly reviewing our content and adding additional mathematicians and artifacts.
