"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 centers 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 TODOS: Mathematics For ALL Cave Creek, AZ Empower students to be the changejoin the teaching mathematics for social justice movement! We live in an era in which students of all ages havethrough media and their lived experiences a more visceral experience of social injustices. However, when people think of social justice, mathematics rarely comes to mind. With a teacher-friendly design, this book brings upper elementary mathematics content to life by connecting it to student curiosity, empathy, and issues students see or experience. Tested in Grades 3-5 classrooms, the 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 justice issues. Learn to plan instruction that engages students in mathematics explorations through age-appropriate, culturally relevant topics, such as valuing differences, health and pay inequality, bullying, voting rights, and environmental justice. Features include: Content cross-referenced by mathematical concept and social issuesConnection to Learning for Justices social justice standardsDownloadable instructional materials and lesson resourcesGuidance for lessons driven by students unique passions and challengesConnections between research and practice Written for teachers committed to developing equitable and just practices through the lens of mathematics content and practice standards as well as social justice standards, this book will help connect content to students daily lives, fortify their mathematical understanding, and expose them to issues that will support them in becoming active citizens and leaders.
