Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics
Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of “teaching mathematics for social justice” in Chicago public schools (and elsewhere). For me, this is the same as “reading and writing the world with mathematics.” These phrases mean that students use mathematics to study their social reality as a way to both learn academic (i.e., school) mathematics while deepening their understanding of their world—all to prepare them to change the world as they see fit.
