Resumen
Based on nearly three decades of teaching in inner city, bilingual elementary schools in a Midwest industrial city, the author suggests multiple ways to interject social justice issues and concepts into core mathematics curriculum that simultaneously draws on the children’s lives. Furthermore, the author uses anecdotal evidence to argue that this approach increases motivation and interest in the study of mathematics. Finally, the author asserts that even in an era of scripted, standard-based, data-saturated curricular mandates, social justice mathematics is both possible and necessary.
