[Maths-Education] Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice: Meaningful Projects for the Secondary Mathematics Classroom

[Peter Gates]

I'd like to draw your attention to a new book: 'Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice: Meaningful Projects for the Secondary Mathematics Classroom'. The aim of the book is to share teaching resources and ideas generated from the TMSJ Research Project (a participatory action research project). The book was published by the Association of Teachers of Mathematics in April 2016.
The book is:

  *   Aimed at teachers of mathematics who are interested in addressing issues of social justice in their classrooms.
  *   Based on the premise that conventional approaches to teaching maths do not adequately address the needs of all learners or the needs of society as a whole.
  *   Suitable for students in Key Stages 3 and 4, those studying the new 'core mathematics' curriculum and for those on post-compulsory numeracy courses.
  *   Written in a style that allows teachers to use the ideas in a flexible, creative and non-prescriptive way.
The book contains:

  *   Seven projects addressing issues of social justice in the mathematics classroom;
  *   Twenty task sheets designed to be photocopied for students;
  *   Teachers' notes offering ideas for supporting and developing classroom practice;
  *   Six accessible research articles exploring the theories underlying the teaching ideas.

Further details of the book can be found on:

The Ninth Mathematics Education and Society conference will be held at the University of Thessaly, Volos, Greece early April, 2017. This conference is an international forum for the discussion of historical, cultural, social, and political issues relating to mathematics education. More information will be posted in due course.
