Abstract

The evolution of mathematics coincided with advancements in its teaching. The 19th and 20th centuries marked a pedagogical revolution in mathematics education. This paper argues that Bruner’s (1966) model, Gagné’s (1985) taxonomy, innovative teaching methods emphasizing research and problem-solving, and the inclusion of data analysis topics have shaped modern mathematics education. Additionally, the paper explores transformative trends, emphasizing mathematics literacy and the integration of virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) in education. This evolution emphasizes practical, contextually relevant approaches. VR enhances engagement and comprehension of abstract concepts, while AI offers personalized learning experiences, fostering deeper understanding and skill development.
