Teaching mathematics and science embedded in social justice is not a familiar concept for many teachers, especially pre-service teachers. This qualitative, descriptive, and interpretative study examines the experiences and reflections of 26 middle grade and secondary pre-service mathematics and science teachers on teaching and learning mathematics…

Mathematics teaching is challenging particularly for teachers who have just started their careers. Research on this sort of teacher has focused separately on their knowledge, identity, or instructional quality. Yet, teaching mathematics as a profession requires synthetic and comprehensive competency. To fill this gap, this study investigates the…

This study focuses on how teaching is affected when two cultures meet: the Sámi culture, represented by the "lávvu," and the culture of teaching mathematics in a school. It describes the use of the "lávvu" (a Sámi temporary dwelling) as a classroom for teaching mathematics. For several years, and in cooperation with…

In this article, we describe the development of a survey intended to assess teachers' perceptions on teaching mathematics to African American students. Research on productive and unproductive mindsets that affect teachers' ways of being in the classroom guided the design of the survey. We share results from three-survey administrations with two…

Flexible teaching of mathematics word problems is essential to improve learning. Flexible teaching is vital in terms of providing meaningful learning, creating inclusive learning spaces and making content accessible. As such, teachers need to strive to provide flexible teaching of mathematics word problems in order to optimise and maximise…

A qualitative approach using an interpretivist paradigm with…

A powerful way to build students' mathematical power and agency is through Teaching Mathematics for Social Justice (TMfSJ), where students read and write the world with mathematics (Gutstein, 2005). Reading the world with mathematics uses mathematics to understand relations of power, resource inequities, and disparate opportunities between…

Considering the prevalence of mathematics teacher shortages in the United States, together with declining enrollments in teacher preparation programs, it is crucial for districts and teacher preparation programs alike to investigate new recruitment initiatives. In this pilot study, a university aimed to increase high school students' interest in…

This article discusses the meanings of mathematics teaching forged in the reflections promoted in a lesson study.
