Dear Readers and Supporters of AWSNA Publications,
You might notice in this new Publications catalogue symptoms of change. Last April
the AWSNA Board of Trustees made a series of decisions that inaugurated many
adjustments. One of these flowed from the confluence of David Mitchell’s passing
and an offer from the Research Institute for Waldorf Education (RIWE) to move
Publications from AWSNA to RIWE. Both boards agreed and you see some of the
results here in this new catalogue.
The hope with this move is to increase the reach and impact of Waldorf publications
and Waldorf education in the English-speaking world. Specifically the goal is to
enhance efforts to introduce Waldorf education more fully to arenas of academia
and research through the careful use of publications. The name change to “Waldorf
Publications” is part of this idea. The urgent need to build a new imagination for
childhood and education is also a compelling motivator here!
At this point it is fitting to offer tribute to David Mitchell and the Waldorf schools
on this continent. David’s imagination, dedication, and endless resourcefulness
brought AWSNA Publications into existence. The commitment of Waldorf schools
in the Association to provide a steady market for the books he published each year
brought the Publications department to its present robust level. Hundreds of titles for
teachers, parents, and children are represented in the body of work David published.
Through these titles, available in English, many translations have followed in Spanish,
Portuguese, Korean, Russian, Chinese, Hebrew and Japanese.
Most of the work in this catalogue is David’s, and he kept the format of the catalogue
updated loyally as he went. So his spirit lives on through this work. Ann Erwin, who
was his publishing assistant for many years, has collected his work into the beautiful
catalogue now in your hands, with tireless help from Robin Bellack, David’s other
right-hand associate, in our shipping and handling department. With that and the
weaving of culture, promotions, FaceBook resources and endless cheerfulness, Sarah
Dinan and Anamyn Turowski in our office make the publications “team” happy to
continue together making authors shine brightly and resources flow abundantly.
As our readers, your ideas and support are crucial to our success. Without you, there
would be no reason for Waldorf Publications! So, one last grand salute to you all…

This book about teaching mathematics in the Waldorf
school contains algebra lessons for classes seven and
eight (and some forward-leaning inclusions in the
addendum). There are several recommendations in
the introduction concerning the division of the study
material. Like the other books in this series, it is geared
toward class teachers for these grade levels. The book is
also well-suited to anyone who wishes to become familiar with basic algebra
through independent study.
