Celebration Fatigue in Mathematics Education: Alternate Timelines for Future Celebrations
摘要
Whether journals or conferences, or otherwise, there are a lot of special anniversaries (silver and gold) happening in the field of mathematics education now or just on the horizon. If you look closer, however, you will find that anniversaries in mathematics education are also celebrated at 5- and/or 10-year intervals. Take this journal, the Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (@CJSMTE), for example, which celebrated years 15, 20, and now 25 in print. To be honest, I am getting a little fatigued with all this celebrating. To help alleviate my fatigue, I seek alternate (tolerable) timelines for future celebrations. After looking at many different integer sequences, for example, prime, polite, happy, lucky, fortunate, and narcissistic numbers, I stumble across and propose two possible paths forward for future celebrations of the journal. One I want and one that is most likely. On that note, happy silver anniversary, @CJSMTE.
