Resumen
Sociocultural theory maintains that human learning is mediated by cultural tools and also highlights the relationships between agents and cultural tools, which are embedded in social and historical contexts. This paper investigates whether and how transnational families engage in the appropriation of a mathematical cultural tool, a finger multiplication strategy, while contending with the pressures to conform to the mainstream practices of their host country. This study is based on ethnographic interviews with transnational parents and children in Japan. This paper offers insights into the process of out-of-school mathematics learning across generations and how identities are tied with this process. Findings also suggest how broad systems of power impact out-of-school mathematics learning.
