MULTIMATHEMACY: Anthropology and Mathematics Education

Meer over het boek

The book advocates for a math education approach that begins with children's diverse out-of-school knowledge, using sociocultural learning theories, particularly from Vygotsky. It highlights the importance of incorporating global ethnographic insights to enrich curricula. Additionally, it critiques the Western-centric perspective prevalent in OECD analyses and proposals, promoting a more inclusive and varied framework for teaching mathematics.
