Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA wonderful collection of lessons, submitted by teachers, to help students of all ages see topics they care about, and use mathematics as a tool for progress in the world. -- Jo Boaler * Stanford, CA *This is the book so many of us in early childhood mathematics have been waiting for. It’s practical, justice oriented, and, maybe most importantly, child centered. From lessons about representation in cartoons to differences in family structures to living through a pandemic, the book provides many detailed lessons that take up social justice concerns in ways that are real and relevant to young children while also providing ways to productively engage in grade-level mathematics. -- Amy Noelle Parks * East Lansing, MI *Finally, a bold and beautiful mathematics resource for the early elementary educator that guides us to fully connect children’s natural mathematical curiosity with their intimate sense of justice and humanity. In reading this book, I wanted to try out every single lesson immediately, just to see that look of joy when children truly read and write their own world with mathematics! -- Theodore Chao * Columbus, OH *This book is a gift for early childhood educators, whether they are newly curious to social justice and mathematics or seasoned experts at implementing socially-conscious, mathematically rich experiences for their young learners. The authors invite readers in with their conversational and respectful tone, their attention to the specific contexts of the early childhood educator (such as discourses around "developmentally appropriate practice"), and their use of contemporary, research-based frameworks. -- Andrea McCloskey * University Park, PA *Koestler and colleagues have curated a diverse set of lessons that invite children to "make sense of themselves and the world" through the lens of social justice mathematics. A particular strength of this book is the voices and experiences of the lesson authors, encouraging the reader to "trust in children" and allow the power of children’s voices to guide this important and challenging work. -- Angela Chan Turrou * Los Angeles, CA *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 early elementary–aged children 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 *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—social justice at its core -- Paul C. Gorski * Columbia, SC *This book is a must-read for all elementary educators. A call to action, the guide for teachers offers incredible resources, including powerful lesson plans, to engage readers in the practice of teaching mathematics for social justice in early childhood settings. This is an immense contribution to the conversation around social justice and mathematics in elementary education. -- Ruchi Agarwal-Rangnath * San Francisco, CA *A very compelling set of fresh ideas are offered that prepare educators to turn the corner on advocating for social justice in the mathematics classroom. Each book is full of engaging activities, frameworks, and standards that center instruction on community, worldview, and the developmental needs of all students—a must-needed resource to reboot our commitment to the next generation -- Linda M. Fulmore * Cave Creek, AZ *Early Elementary Mathematics Lessons to Explore, Understand, and Respond to Social Injustice is an outstanding addition to the growing number of texts and projects that weave the teaching of mathematics and social justice together. The authors go deep and broad to show how, why, and when this combination of curricular topics improves our students’ mathematical understandings while honing their abilities and dispositions to promote social and environmental justice in their own lives and communities. -- Bob Peterson * Milwaukee, WI *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction Chapter 1: What Is Social Justice and Why Does It Matter in Teaching Mathematics? Chapter 2: Fostering a Classroom Community for Social Justice Chapter 3: Instructional Tools for a Social Justice Mathematics Lesson Chapter 4: Teaching Social Justice Mathematics Lessons Chapter 5: Social Justice Mathematics Lessons Lesson 5.1 Exploring Fairness Through Data and Numbers Lesson 5.2 Addressing Food Insecurity Lesson 5.3 Same and Different: An Exploration of Identity through Geometry Shapes Lesson 5.4 Examining Air Quality Lesson 5.5 Family Counts!

Equal parts approachable and challenging, the lessons get students thinking critically about how mathematics helps them to understand, identify injustice, and develop the skills and confidence to right it. -- Jonathan Tobin * Atlanta, GA *This is the book so many of us in upper elementary mathematics have been waiting for. It’s practical, justice oriented, and student-centered. For elementary school teachers looking to integrate social justice lessons with a relevant and timely lens, this book will be instantly applicable to your practice. For everyone else, this book demonstrates that social justice mathematics is critical to the work we must do for our students, our communities, and our profession as mathematics teachers! -- José Luis Vilson * New York, NY *This book is a much-needed and timely resource for teachers, coaches, school leaders, and teacher educators. The authors offer a wide array of lessons that get to the heart of teaching mathematics for social justice for students in Grades 3–5. The diverse topics share a common thread: a commitment to students’ learning grounded in meaningful and relevant explorations. -- Marta Civil * Tucson, AZ *I imagine many people will purchase this book for the sample lesson plans.
