From mathematicians to philosophers and anthropologists -- Initial examinations of mathematics education : purpose, problems, and method -- A white institutional space : race and mathematics education -- Social class hierarchies and mathematics education : to reproduce or interrupt? -- Rationalism, masculinity, and the "girl problem" in mathematics education -- Putting it all together : intersectionality, current mathematics education policy, and further avenues for exploration -- Glossary of terms. `Mathematics Education` offers both undergraduates and starting-graduate students in education an introduction to the connections that exist between mathematics and a critical orientation to education. This primer shows how concepts like race, class, gender, and language have real effects in the mathematics classroom, and prepares current and future mathematics teachers with a more critical math education that increases accessibility for all students. By refocusing math learning towards the goals of democracy and social and environmental crises, the book also introduces readers to broader contemporary school policy and reform debates and struggles. Mark Wolfmeyer shows future and current teachers how critical mathematics education can be put into practice with concrete strategies and examples in both formal and informal educational settings. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jpascua 2018-08-30 09:55:03 jpascua 2018-08-30 09:55:03 10426 10355 10355 0 0 ddc 0 0 HED HED HED 2025-12-21 CIR 510.71073 W83m 2017 HED6038 2026-06-02 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
