摘要
Studying the history of science is particularly important for learning mathematics. In scribe schools of Ancient Mesopotamia we find a teaching model that can be adapted perfectly to the first level of education in this discipline, because it was in this context where the first elements of arithmetic, geometry and algebra were set. In this paper we examine how the curriculum of Mesopotamian schools can help our students learn mathematics. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
