Reflecting on Practice in Elementary School Mathematics: Readings from Nctm's School-Based Journals and Other Publications

by Anne R. Teppo

African American students have not been given commensurate opportunities to succeed in mathematics education. This critical look at successful and unsuccessful teaching practices related to African American students explores the perspectives of these students, specific instructional techniques, integrating culture into the classroom, and where to go from here. Case studies describe efforts that have proved successful and offer suggestions for other institutions to implement.
