This unique collection of more than 30 articles shows teachers how to weave social-justice principles throughout the math curriculum, and how to integrate social-justice math into other curricular areas as well. "Rethinking Mathematics" presents teaching ideas, lesson plans and reflections by practicing classroom teachers and distinguished mathematics educators. This is real-world math--math that helps students analyze problems as they gain essential academic skills. "Rethinking Mathematics" will help teachers develop students' understanding of society and prepare them to be critical, active participants in a democracy. This book is divided into four parts. Part I, Viewing Math Broadly, contains the following: (1) Teaching Math Across the Curriculum (Bob Peterson); (2) Reading the World with Math (Marilyn Frankenstein); (3) Race, Retrenchment, and the Reform of School Mathematics (William F.
