Elementary Mathematics Instruction

This abbreviated literature review features studies regarding elementary mathematics instruction and the mathematics teachers that act in ways that lend to and further cultural responsiveness. Teachers presented in the review utilized a pedagogical style referred to as responsive teaching (Empson, 2014) and studies were re-read and analyzed with a lens of cultural responsiveness, specifically that of culturally responsive teaching (CRT). The analysis exposed common practices across this vein of mathematics teaching that uphold the tenets of cultural responsiveness. The value that this form of instruction holds for young learners is also presented.

AbstractAs the school population becomes increasingly diverse with students of differing ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, there is a need for more responsive practices that capitalize on the cultural capital that such students bring to the learning process. Current practices especially in mathematics teaching are failing to meet the learning needs of most diverse students thus contributing to their lack of success. Further, few teacher education programs have successfully tackled the challenging task of preparing teachers to meet the learning needs of diverse students. This article explores the theory of constructivism and its implications to mathematics teaching. The article further explores culturally responsive pedagogy and what it means to be a culturally responsive teacher. In their analyses, the authors draw parallels between culturally responsive pedagogical practices and strategies for teaching based on a constructivist view of learning. They demonstrate why the general principles derived from the constructivist theory are particularly suited for teaching diverse students consistent with notions of culturally responsive pedagogy. Some recommendations for teacher preparation are then provided.

Dynamic Form

Culturally responsive teaching is a dynamic form of teaching that builds on and supports students' home culture. The strategies that we recommend in this article for English Language Learners (ELL) are based on research or classroom experience. We provide real-life examples of how the second author, Gilberto Lobo, implements these ideas in the context of data analysis.

Caring Teacher

In this keynote we will examine and participate in mathematics teaching and learning practices that contribute to strong learning focussed relationships and enjoyment of mathematics learning. Pedagogies, learning experiences, and caring teacher behaviours that include and extend beyond traditional mathematics teaching practices will be presented as examples of how academic relationships can be fostered towards all students making strong mathematics learning gains. The use of contexts that students find realistic, meaningful, and engaging will be discussed. A culturally responsive mathematics education model that encompasses cognitive, social, physical, and spiritual dimensions will be used to consider themes from the keynote session. Examples of research-practice links will be discussed.
