Book Synopsis
Math and science hold powerful places in contemporary society. However, effective math and science education is not equally available to all students, with some of the poorest students. This title demonstrates that educational inequality is augmented by a consistent failure to integrate student history, and social needs into the core curriculum.

Trade Review
"Edna Tan and Angela Calabrese Barton's stance that rather than asking students to change in order to fit into the culture of science and math, science and math should change to be responsive to the desires of students is a provocative one that raises new questions for educators." (Cory Buxton, University of Georgia)"
