{"product_id":"latinosas-and-mathematics-education-kip-tzsllez-9781617354212","title":"Latinos\/As and Mathematics Education: Research on Learning and Teaching in Classrooms and Communities","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book that explores the mathematics education of Latinos\/as in 13 original research studies. Each chapter represents research that grounds mathematics instruction for Latinos\/as in the resources to be found in culture and language. By inverting the deficit perspective, this volume redresses the shortcomings found in the previous literature on Latino\/a learners. Each study frames language (e.g. bilingualism) not as an obstacle to learning, but as a resource for mathematical reasoning. Other chapters explore the notion of cultural variation not as a liability but as a tool for educators to build upon in the teaching of mathematics. Specifically, the book reframes culture as a focus on the practices, objects, inscriptions, or people that connect mathematical concepts to student thinking and experiences, both in and out of school.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's four sections divide the research: The first section of the book focuses on mathematic learning in classrooms, specifically exploring bilingual, Latino\/a students; the second section explores Latino\/a learners in communities, including the role parents can play in advancing learning; the third section includes chapters focused on teacher professional growth; the final section concerns the assessment (and mis-assessment) of Latino\/a learners. The research shared in this volume provides ample evidence that mathematics educators who choose to ignore language or culture in their pedagogy risk shortchanging their Latino\/a students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kip Téllez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 161735421X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617354212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Information Age Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Kip Téllez","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623286649087,"sku":"9781617354212","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/latinosas-and-mathematics-education-kip-tzsllez-9781617354212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
