| Using Ethnomathematics to Expand Students’ Personal Connections with Mathematics for More Meaningful Learning |
| Our schools serve increasingly diverse student populations, and the challenge of leading mathematics education K-12 is great. Ethnomathematics offers perspectives and direction for meeting mathematics learning needs of culturally, ethnically, and linguistically rich classes. Share examples with other attendees, facilitators, and strand presenters. |
