	Teaching Mathematics Using Interactive Mapping by Sandra L. Arlinghaus, Joseph J. Kerski, William C. Arlinghaus 2024 | CRC Press This book offers novel ways to learn basic math topics such as simple relational measures or measuring hierarchies through customized interactive mapping activities. These activities focus on interactive web-based GIS and are relevant to today’s problems and challenges. All activities are designed to build practical and problem-solving skills that rest on mathematical principles and move students from thinking about maps as references that focus solely on "where is" something, to analytical tools, focusing primarily on the "whys of where." Success with this transition through interaction permits most readers to master mathematical concepts and GIS tools.

Among other things, readers will gain an understanding of the theoretical underpinning for the actions that create our history and be challenged to reconsider their perspectives, as well as learn about the important role of the library catalog in the real-world.
