Mathematics educators and researchers have increasingly integrated social justice-oriented tasks into their classrooms. Teaching mathematics for social justice (TMfSJ) aims to help students develop mathematical knowledge in ways that promote students' abilities to critique the communities of which they are members (Ellis & Malloy, 2007;…

We investigated the development of students' sociopolitical consciousness via engagement in a mathematical activity purposefully designed around understanding the unemployment rate in the US. Qualitative data was collected from 12 university seniors participating in an online capstone class. Results showed that students: (1) further developed…

Ijebor, Ellen E.; Cascalheira, Cory J.; Lucero, Leanna – Action in Teacher Education, 2022
Teaching mathematics for social justice is a rich research area in which field trips have been under examined. The paucity of literature on math-based field trips for social justice, specifically, warrants further investigation. This action research study aims to improve our practice of empowering elementary preservice teachers to design…

Roth, Wolff-Michael; Walshaw, Margaret – Pedagogies: An International Journal, 2020
There is a well-established area of work in mathematics education focusing on mathematics for social justice. Much of the work, however, is concerned with "individual" students' understanding the world symbolically -- as evident in the notions of reading and writing the world using mathematics -- while failing to address a transformative…

Raygoza, Mary Candace – Urban Education, 2020
This article contributes a deeper understanding of teachers' experiences with and beliefs about teaching mathematics for social justice in urban schools. In-depth, phenomenological interviews were conducted with a national sample of 15 secondary mathematics teachers from eight cities across the United States. Findings identify five overarching…

McHugh, Maighread L. – ProQuest LLC, 2015
The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore how five sixth grade female students navigated the process of project-based learning as they designed and implemented their own project centered on mathematics while using a social justice lens. The theoretical frameworks of Authentic Intellectual Work and Social Justice…

Denny, Flannery – Rethinking Schools, 2013
In the author's eighth year of teaching, she hit a wall teaching percent change. Percent change is one of the few calculations taught in math classes that shows up regularly in the media, and one that she often does in her head to make sense of the world around her. Despite this, she had been teaching percent change using textbook problems about…

Liljedahl, Peter, Ed.; Nicol, Cynthia, Ed.; Oesterie, Susan, Ed.; Allan, Darien, Ed. – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
The theme of the 38th meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME 38) and the 36th meeting of the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (PME-NA 36) was "Mathematics Education at the Edge." Academically, the theme provides opportunities to highlight and examine…
