Details:
Why do so many learners, even those who are successful, feel that they are outsiders in the world of mathematics? "Mathematical Literacy" explores students’ experiences of doing mathematics, from primary school to university. It delves into what they think mathematics is, how it is presented to them, and what they feel about it.
Starting with the central importance of language in the development of mathematical understanding, this book examines two key issues:
-
The relationship between language, learning, and mathematical knowledge.
-
The relationship between identity, equity, and processes of exclusion/inclusion.
Building on a range of theory that focuses on community, knowledge, and identity, the author provides an accessible exploration of mathematics learning across different groups in various social contexts. The analysis offers valuable insights into how learners develop relationships with the subject, and suggests ways to promote equity through fostering positive relationships with mathematics. This book is of interest to researchers, teacher educators, and university educators across all sectors of education
