Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Create a pathway to equity by detracking mathematics
The tracked mathematics system has been operating in US schools for decades. However, research demonstrates negative effects on subgroups of students by keeping them in a single math track, thereby denying them access to rigorous coursework needed for college and career readiness. The journey to change this involves confronting some long-standing beliefs and structures in education.
When supported with the right structures, instructional shifts, coalition building, and educator training and support, the detracking of mathematics courses can be a primary pathway to equity. The ultimate goal is to increase more students’ access to and achievement in higher levels of mathematics learning–especially for students who are historically marginalized. Based on the stories and lessons learned from the San Francisco Unified School District educators who have talked the talk and walked the walk, this book provides a model for all those involved in taking on detracking efforts from policymakers and school administrators, to math coaches and teachers.
By sharing stories of real-world examples, lessons learned, and prompts to provoke discussion about your own context, the book walks you through:
Designing and gaining support for a policy of detracked math coursesImplementing the policy through practical shifts in scheduling, curriculum, professional development, and coachingSupporting and improving the policy through continuous research, monitoring, and maintenance.This book offers the big ideas that help you in your own unique journey to advance equity in your school or district’s mathematics education and also provides practical information to help students in a detracked system thrive.

Math really is for everyone—so let’s prove it.
You’ve heard it from kids, from friends, and from celebrities: “I’m bad at math.” It’s a line that society tends to accept without examination—after all, some people just aren’t “math people,” right?
Wrong. As we do with other essential skills, we need to expose the stereotypes, challenge the negative mindsets, and finally confront the systemic opportunity gaps in math education, and replace them with a new vision for what math is, who it’s for, and who can excel at it. In this book you’ll find
Research on teacher and student mindsets and their effect on student achievementAudience-specific and differentiated tools, reflection questions, and suggested actions for educators at all levels of the systemExamples from popular media, as well as personal stories and anecdotesQuotes, data-driven figures, and suggestions for deeper learning on all aspects of a positive and equitable vision of math educationBoth social commentary and a toolkit of solutions, this bold new book directly challenges the constructs that have historically dictated our perceptions of what makes someone a “math person”. Only by dismantling those misplaced assumptions can we reform math education so it works for everyone. Because in truth, we are all math people.

Every child has a right to make sense of math, and to use math to make sense of their worlds.
Despite their gifts, students with disabilities are often viewed from a deficit standpoint in mathematics classrooms. These students are often conceptualized as needing to be fixed or remediated. Rethinking Disability and Mathematics argues that mathematics should be a transformative space for these students, a place where they can discover their power and potential and be appreciated for their many strengths. Author Rachel Lambert introduces Universal Design for Learning for Math (UDL Math), a way to design math classrooms that empowers disabled and neurodiverse students to engage in mathematics in ways that lead to meaningful and joyful math learning. The book showcases how UDL Math can open up mathematics classrooms so that they provide access to meaningful understanding and an identity as a math learner to a wider range of students. Weaved throughout the book are the voices of neurodiverse learners telling their own stories of math learning.
Through stories of real teachers recognizing the barriers in their own math classrooms and redesigning to increase access, the book:
Reframes students with disabilities from a deficit to an asset perspective, paving the way for trusting their mathematical thinkingOffers equitable math instruction for all learners, including those with disabilities, neurodiverse students, and/or multilingual learnersApplies UDL to the math classroom, providing practical tips and techniques to support students' cognitive, affective, and strategic developmentImmerses readers in math classrooms where all students are engaged in meaningful mathematics, from special education day classes to inclusive general education classrooms, from grades K-8. Integrates research on mathematical learning including critical math content such as developing number sense and place value, fluency with math facts and operations, and understanding fractions and algebraic thinking.Explores critical issues such as writing IEP goals in mathThis book is designed for all math educators, both those trained as general education teachers and those trained as special education teachers. The UDL Math approach is adapted to work for all learners because everyone varies in how they perceive the world and in how they approach mathematical problem solving. When we rethink mathematics to include multiple ways of being a math learner, we make math accessible and engaging for a wider group of learners.

Creating mathematical community in elementary classrooms to support equitable engagement in deep mathematical content
What does a mathematical community look like in an elementary classroom? How do teachers engage young mathematicians in deep and challenging mathematical content? How do we ensure that every student contributes their voice to this community?
Interweaving Equitable Participation and Deep Mathematics: Building Community in the Elementary Classroom focuses on a dual commitment: to teaching deep and challenging mathematics and to equitable participation for all students in the classroom community. With practical strategies and real-life examples, Susan Jo Russell and Deborah Schifter offer a design for building community organized around four key aspects: every voice matters; collaboration supports student agency; student-created representations offer anchors, openings, and depth; and students become initiators and advocates for their own learning. Each chapter examines how teachers implement these ideas through video examples from six public elementary-school classrooms.

Math is not rote-memorizable. Math is not random-guessable. Math is figure-out-able.
Author Pam Harris argues that teaching real math—math that is free of distortions–will reach more students more effectively and result in deeper understanding and longer retention. This book is about teaching undistorted math using the kinds of mental reasoning that mathematicians do.
Memorization tricks and algorithms meant to make math “easier” are full of traps that sacrifice long-term student growth for short-lived gains. Students and teachers alike have been led to believe that they’ve learned more and more math, but in reality their brains never get any stronger.
Using these tricks may make facts easier to memorize in isolation, but that very disconnect distorts the reality of math. The mountain of trivia piles up until students hit a breaking point. Humanity's most powerful system of understanding, organizing, and making an impact on the world becomes a soul-draining exercise in confusion, chaos, and lost opportunities.
Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms emphasizes the importance of teaching students increasingly sophisticated mathematical reasoning and understanding underlying concepts rather than relying on a set rule for solving problems. This book illuminates a hierarchy of mathematical reasoning to help teachers guide students through various domains of math development, from basic counting and adding to more complex proportional and functional reasoning.
Everyone is capable of understanding and doing real math. This book:
Highlights the important mathematical relationships, strategies, and models for students to developOffers personal stories, reflection sections, and extensive practical exercises for easy implementationIncludes real math—a lot of it—to provide teachers with examples they can put to use in their classrooms immediatelyThis book is a valuable resource for educators looking to reach more students by building a strong foundation of mathematical thinking in their students. By addressing common misconceptions about math and providing practical strategies for teaching real math, this book shows that everyone can use the mathematical relationships they already know to reason about new relationships. In other words, everyone can math.

When brain science meets math success
Emotions drive learning. This is an essential component of understanding how a student’s math identity is closely connected to their math success. How a student sees themselves in relation to math is dynamically constructed in their brain and is constantly changing. Every learner deserves to exist in harmony with mathematics. This book shows you how to make that mantra a reality for all students.
Liesl McConchie offers an exciting new perspective on math identity through her extensive research on how the brain learns. Liesl walks readers through cognitive neuroscience in a humorous and friendly way, using metaphors and everyday stories to explain how emotions and cognition interact. She offers engaging and simple brain-based strategies and activities to implement in the classroom.

Translates complex brain science principles for educators in an accessible and engaging wayProvides practical exercises and lessons that you can use in classroom right awayShares real-world stories that provide deeper insight into how math identity is shaped over the yearsOffers activities to help teachers gain insight into the math identities of our studentsGuides teachers to explore our own math identity and the impact it can have on our studentsMost important, the book pushes back on the prevailing message about math identity that tends to focus on student efficacy alone. This approach puts the burden on the individual, which can lead to additional oppression of those who have been most marginalized in math. Here’s our opportunity as educators to reexamine what it means to have a positive math identity--and to learn to use brain-based tools to build on a positive math identity for our students from the earliest ages.
