Sinopsis

Drawing on perceptions, behaviours, and experiences of students at an urban high school--both high and low achievers--this timely book demonstrates how urban youth can be meaningfully engaged in learning mathematics. The author presents a ''potential'' model rather than a ''deficit'' model, complete with teaching strategies and best practices for teaching mathematics in innovative and relevant ways. This resource offers practical insights for pre- and in-service teachers and administrators on facilitating positive interactions, engagement, and achievement in mathematics, particularly with Black and Latino/a students. It also examines societal perceptions of urban students and how these affect teaching and learning, policies, and mathematics outcomes.

Críticas

Walker argues for the importance of research to go beyond the performance issues and provide critical insight into students' mathematical thinking, persistence, and types of achievement other than standardized testing. Hear, hear! --Mathematical Association of America
