Mathematics education traditionally focuses on teaching students’ fundamental concepts and
problem-solving techniques within the confines of the classroom. Homework assignments typically involve
practicing problems from the textbook or applying learned methods to new problems. However, extending
math homework beyond these traditional exercises—by incorporating research, collection, and proofs of
theorems, preferably the classic ones offer students a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and
their historical context. This approach not only enriches their learning experience but also fosters critical
thinking, problem-solving skills, and a genuine appreciation for mathematics. This article explores the
benefits and strategies for extending math, algorithms and coding education through these methods,
highlighting how they contribute to a more comprehensive and meaningful learning experience.
