DESCRIPTION:
It depends on what type of course you are teaching San Diego Fan Years ago, when I was in school, we studied the types of Topics presented in this book but it was called Social Science (or Social Studies). These ideas and lesson plans are great, and students should be encouraged to explore issues of social justice. But this is not Mathematics. It is the application of (Middle School) mathematical techniques to explore social conditions. If we teach these lessons as math classes, we are no closer to closing the achievment gap and getting more minority students . Not a math book, a book of political indoctrination John "Rethinking Mathematics" has virtually no mathematical content. It appears to be a set of lesson guides, being mostly tabulations of statistics, graphs and cartoons chosen to support a leftist political agenda. The book is obsessed with race, profoundly anti-capitalist, anti-European, feminist, anti-Western, anti corporate, anti all the bogeymen of the left. But that is not math, it's political indoctrination.This book contains no algebra, geometry, calculus, number theory, trigonometry, or any o. HeartATact said Definitely recommend..

Blending theory and practice, th is is the only resource of its kind..
