social justice movement! Students of all ages and intersecting
identities-through media and their lived experiences- bear witness
to and experience social injustices and movements around the world
for greater justice. However, when people think of social justice,
mathematics rarely comes to mind. With a user-friendly design, this
book brings middle school mathematics content to life by connecting
it to issues students see or experience. Developed for use by
Grades 6-8 educators, the contributed model lessons in this book
walk teachers through the process of applying critical frameworks
to instruction, using standards-based mathematics to explore,
understand, and respond to social injustices. Learn to plan daily
instruction that engages young adolescents in mathematics
explorations through age-appropriate, culturally relevant topics
such as health and economic inequality, human and civil rights,
environmental justice, and accessibility. Features include: Content
cross-referenced by mathematical concept and social issues
Connection to Learning for Justice's social justice standards
Downloadable teacher materials and lesson resources Guidance for
lessons driven by young adolescents' unique passions and challenges
Connections between research and practice Written for teachers
committed to developing equitable and empowering practices through
the lens of mathematics content and practice standards as well as
social justice standards, this book will help connect content to
young adolescents' daily lives, strengthen their mathematical
understanding, and expose them to issues that will support them in
becoming active agents of change and responsible leaders.
Empower students to be the change-join the teaching mathematics for
social justice movement! We live in an era in which students have
-through various media and their lived experiences- a more visceral
experience of social, economic, and environmental injustices.
However, when people think of social justice, mathematics is rarely
the first thing that comes to mind. Through model lessons developed
by over 30 diverse contributors, this book brings seemingly
abstract high school mathematics content to life by connecting it
to the issues students see and want to change in the world. Along
with expert guidance from the lead authors, the lessons in this
book explain how to teach mathematics for self- and
community-empowerment. It walks teachers step-by-step through the
process of using mathematics-across all high school content
domains-as a tool to explore, understand, and respond to issues of
social injustice including: environmental injustice; wealth
inequality; food insecurity; and gender, LGBTQ, and racial
discrimination. This book features: Content cross-referenced by
mathematical concept and social issues Downloadable instructional
materials for student use User-friendly and logical interior design
for daily use Guidance for designing and implementing social
justice lessons driven by your own students' unique passions and
challenges Timelier than ever, teaching mathematics through the
lens of social justice will connect content to students' daily
lives, fortify their mathematical understanding, and expose them to
issues that will make them responsive citizens and leaders in the
future.
When it comes to math, standards-aligned is achievement-aligned...
Since The Common Core Mathematics Companions for grades K-2, 3-5
and 6-8 burst on the scene, they have been lauded as the best
resources for making critical math ideas easy to teach. With this
brand-new volume, high school mathematics success is at your
fingertips. The authors lay out the pieces of an in-depth
explanation, showing the mathematical progression of each
conceptual category, how standards connect within and across
domains, and what teachers and students should be doing every day
to foster deep learning.
