This session will actively equip participants with the insights and strategies necessary to engage in asset-based mathematics teaching and learning effectively. We will delve into the intersection of mathematics teaching and learning across four critical dimensions:
- Prioritizing students' understanding and work: We will focus on strategies that center students' knowledge and work in the learning process.
- Connecting mathematics to cultural and community histories: We seek to illustrate relevance and value as a rich resource for teaching and learning.
- Using real-world mathematics to unpack students' assets: We will explore the application of mathematics support assets while opposing deficit thinking.
- Utilizing mathematics as a tool for creating a just society: We will examine how mathematics can be an asset aiming to equip students with the knowledge and tools to contribute to a fair and equitable society
