MATHematics EDucation Network

What We

Try & Read

A Network for Mathematics Instructors in the Netherlands

About MathEdN.

This platform is created by and for mathematics instructors in higher education across the Netherlands — from research universities to universities of applied sciences (hogescholen). Our focus is specifically on the teaching and learning of mathematics at the university level.

Here, we share what we try in our mathematics classrooms, what we read that inspires or informs us, and what we learn through both success and struggle. Because teaching mathematics isn’t always smooth — and that’s exactly why we should talk about it.

Why this matters

For instructors

We know your time is limited. This space offers quick, practical insights from colleagues across the country — things they’ve tested, tweaked, or even abandoned. You’ll find short write-ups on real teaching experiences in university mathematics: what worked, what didn’t, and what others might try differently.

For researchers

For researchers in mathematics education: this is a valuable window into the real-world practices of university-level instructors. It provides a grounded perspective that connects classroom experiences with educational research — and helps close the gap between theory and practice.

The Library

Here, we share what we try in our mathematics classrooms, what we read that inspires or informs us, and what we learn through both success and struggle. Because teaching mathematics isn’t always smooth — and that’s exactly why we should talk about it.

What you’ll find here:
  • Classroom practices in mathematics teaching (both successful and not-so-successful)
  • Reflections on research or readings related to mathematics education
  • Contributions organized by topic and institution
  • Insights from both teaching-focused instructors and mathematics education researchers
