{"product_id":"reading-and-writing-the-world-eric-gutstein-9780415950848","title":"Reading and Writing the World with Mathematics: Toward a Pedagogy for Social Justice","description":"Mathematics education in the United States can reproduce social inequalities whether schools use either \"basic-skills\" curricula to prepare mainly low-income students of color for low-skilled service jobs or \"standards-based\" curricula to ready students for knowledge-intensive positions. And working for fundamental social change and rectifying injustice are rarely included in any mathematics curriculum. \u003cem\u003eReading and Writing the World with\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eMathematics\u003c\/em\u003e argues that mathematics education should prepare students to investigate and critique injustice, and to challenge, in words and actions, oppressive structures and acts. Based on teacher-research, the book provides a theoretical framework and practical examples for how mathematics educators can connect schooling to a larger sociopolitical context and concretely teach mathematics for social justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Gutstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415950848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415950848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.44w x 0.59d","brand":"Eric Gutstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946611048703,"sku":"9780415950848","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c6e36ebc-44ff-4577-98a9-4213fee7756b.jpg?v=1681514125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-and-writing-the-world-eric-gutstein-9780415950848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
