Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Mathematics as a Constructive Activity
Book SynopsisThis book explains and demonstrates the teaching strategy of asking learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects. The authors show that the creation of examples can involve transforming and reorganizing knowledge and that, although this is usually done by authors and teachers, if the responsibility for making examples is transferred to learners, their knowledge structures can be developed and extended. A multitude of examples to illustrate this is provided, spanning primary, secondary, and college levels. Readers are invited to learn from their own past experience augmented by tasks provided in the book, and are given direct experience of constructing examples through a collection of many tasks at many levels. Classroom stories show the practicalities of introducing such shifts in mathematics education. The authors examine how their approach relates to improving the learning of mathematics and raise future research questions.*Based on the authors'' and otherTrade Review"...found this book enlightening and delightful, useful for the teacher and thought provoking for the researcher....one of the most enjoyable and enlightening aspects of the book, namely, the more than sixty mathematical tasks sprinkled between it covers."—International Reviews on Mathematical Thinking"The authors...describe this text as being 'about the teaching strategy of asking learners to construct their own examples of mathematical objects.' They 'show not only can all learners construct mathematical objects, but the act of construction can engage learners who might otherwise be passive and uninterested.' Recommended."—CHOICE"The book is a worthy addition to any library. It will appeal to a diverse audience: Anyone who enjoys the thrill of communicating and sharing the satisfaction of unanticipated discoveries through the act of constructing examples will welcome the book."—Mathematical Thinking and Learning"I have read the book both as a mathematics educator, and, more recently, as a teacher educator. Both I and my students have been constantly surprised, as we read each chapter, at how applicable, fresh, and generative the idea of using learner-constructed examples in the classroom has been....Everyone, from the kindergarten to the high school teacher, and from the special education consultant to the doctoral student, has found ideas to work with, to try, and to challenge and improve their own practices."—Nathalie SinclairMichigan State University"....I found this book enlightening and delightful, useful for the teacher and thought-provoking for the researcher." --Michael N. Fried, ZDM 2006 Vol. 38"The book is a worthy addition to any library.

Taylor & Francis Inc Culturally Specific Pedagogy in the Mathematics
Book SynopsisAdvocating for the use of culturally specific pedagogy to enhance the mathematics instruction of diverse students, this revised second edition offers a wide variety of conceptual and curricular resources for teaching mathematics in a way that combats and confronts the forms of oppression that students face today. Addressing stratification based on race, class, and gender, Leonard offers lesson templates that teachers can use with ethnically and culturally diverse students and makes the link between research and practice. Connecting cutting-edge and emerging technologies to culturally specific pedagogy, the second edition features new chapters on mathematics and social justice, robotics, and spatial visualization. Applying a more expansive focus, the new edition discusses current movements such as Black Lives Matter and incorporates examples of rural and tribal students to paint a broader picture of what culturally rich mathematics classrooms actually look like. The text builds on soTrade Review"Many teachers are aware that they do not adequately address the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse students in their mathematics classrooms but are unaware of how to start correcting this issue. This book provides an excellent entry point for mathematics teachers to consider how culture and pedagogy intersect the concrete research-based examples."--Erika Bullock, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USAThis new edition will certainly be welcomed by those mathematics educators, mathematics teachers, and teachers of mathematics who seek new ways of reaching students in their classrooms. Leonard’s concept of culturally specific pedagogy is based on the foundations of Critical Race Theory and Black Feminist Thought… A main tenet is that all students should know that mathematics is a part their history."--From the Foreword by Martin L. Johnson, University of Maryland, USA"In this updated and expanded edition, Leonard not only strengthens her argument for inextricably linking mathematics and mathematics teaching and learning to culture but also connects culturally specific mathematics to some of the most ‘talked about’ issues of the day. I am confident that this updated and expanded edition will become an invaluable resource for those mathematics educators who possess the will to ensure that every child has access to meaningful culturally specific learning experiences in mathematics classrooms." --David W. Stinson, Georgia State University, USA, and Editor of the Journal of Urban Mathematics Education"This book provides pedagogical and theoretical frameworks that respond to traditional mathematics teaching practices by empowering teachers and learners to see the multiple purposes for learning mathematics, helping learners appreciate why mathematics is important in their lives, and allowing teachers to see that their practices are highly correlated with students’ understanding the relevance of mathematics to their lives.

SAGE Publications Inc Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Tasks 612
Book SynopsisEmpower your students as they reimagine the world around them through mathematics Culturally relevant mathematics teaching engages students by helping them learn and understand math more deeply, and make connections to themselves, their communities, and the world around them. The mathematics task provides opportunities for a direct pathway to this goal. But many teachers ask, how can you find, adapt, and implement math tasks that build powerful learners? Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Taskshelps teachers to design and refine inspiring mathematics learning experiences driven by the kind of high-quality and culturally relevant mathematics tasks that connect students to their world. With the goal of inspiring all students to see themselves as doers of mathematics, this book provides intensive, in-the-moment guidance and practical classroom tools that empower educators to shape culturally relevant experiences while systematically building tasks that are standards-based. It includes A pathway for moving through the process of asking, imagining, planning, creating, and improving culturally relevant math tasks. Tools and strategies for designing culturally relevant math tasks that preservice, novice, and veteran teachers can use to grow their practice day by day. Research-based teaching practices seen through the lens of culturally relevant instruction that help students develop deep conceptual understanding, procedural knowledge, fluency, and application in 6-12 mathematical content. Examples, milestones, opportunities for reflection, and discussion questions guide educators to strengthen their classroom practices, and to reimagine math instruction in response. This book is for any educator who wants to teach mathematics in a more authentic, inclusive, and meaningful way, and it is especially beneficial for teachers whose students are culturally different from them.Trade ReviewThe book is a great resource and provides a deep dive into culturally responsive and relevant mathematics practices. It includes rich examples and tasks that can be used during instruction, professional development, and research initiatives in mathematics education that seek to embrace culture and emphasize the relevance of mathematics in our everyday lives. Notably, the culturally relevant mathematics task-building framework provides clear guidance for creating cognitively demanding tasks that draw on the knowledge and experiences of individuals’ communities and empower them to address existing inequities. -- Ruthmae Sears * Tampa, FL *This phenomenal book provides practical approaches to analyze, identify, and create culturally relevant mathematics tasks that help secondary mathematics teachers create opportunities to connect to students’ lived experiences. -- Lateefah Id-Deen * Kennesaw, GA *Thank you, Matthews, Jones, and Parker, for the secondary version of Engaging in Culturally Relevant Math Tasks.

This is an invaluable resource for teachers who want to center students’ voices and lived experiences. -- Tami S. Martin * Normal, IL *For those who fear that culturally relevant math can be misconstrued as formulaic tricks or bombastic rhetoric, this book lives up to the title’s promise of fostering hope. Readers will find a wealth of frameworks for reaching students where they are at, for illuminating the cultural landscapes that escape our notice, and for inspiring students to see how mathematical ways of knowing and social motivations for inquiry can be united with rigor, compassion, and scholarly excellence. -- Ron Eglash * Ann Arbor, MI *The authors remind us that quality math tasks are not solely defined by their level of cognitive demand but must also give deliberate attention to inquiring about and centering the cultural brilliance and wisdom of students and their communities. This book is a must-read for middle and high school math teachers. -- Tonya Gau Bartell * Pleasant Lake, MI *What a wonderful resource full of concrete, actionable strategies for creating more inclusive, culturally responsive mathematics classrooms. The authors offer not only a multitude of rich task examples that are classroom tested, but they also provide guidance for designing mathematically meaningful tasks that are relevant for the students and communities you serve.

Each book is full of engaging activities, frameworks, and standards that center instruction on community, worldview, and the developmental needs of all students—a much-needed resource to reboot our commitment to the next generation. -- Linda M. Fulmore * Cave Creek, AZ *I imagine many people will purchase this book for the sample lesson plans. And you should; they’re fabulous. But just as fabulous, and equally important, is the framework the authors lay out for a comprehensive, holistic, transformative approach to mathematics teaching, with social justice at its core. -- Paul C. Gorski * Columbia, SC *As a teacher educator for social justice, I am familiar with the near-constant refrain of "this isn’t something you can do in math!" This book illustrates just the opposite. Indeed, not only is it possible to engage in social justice mathematics, but it is an educational imperative to do so. This much-needed and valuable collection provides practitioners with clear and compelling lessons that are grounded in theories of justice and equity. Especially timely in this text is the clear evidence that not only can middle school young adolescents engage in critical conversations, problem solving, and sociocultural analysis in their mathematics classes, but they must. The editors and contributors to this volume have curated a powerful resource that is a must-read for all mathematics educators and those who care about social justice teaching and learning. -- Alyssa Hadley Dunn * East Lansing, MI *Middle School Mathematics Lessons to Explore, Understand, and Respond to Social Injustice is a book written for the teacher of mathematics.
