Overview
- Based on the RoleM study in disadvantaged contexts where there is a paucity of longitudinal research in mathematics education
- Presents research on mathematics teaching and learning in disadvantaged contexts—a little-studied area of study
- Addresses teachers’ professional learning and refutes the ‘myth’ that being at the margins of society means that students will be unsuccessful at mathematics
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Education (BRIEFSEDUCAT)

About this book
Reviews
“Descriptions of tactics used to educate both the teachers and students are given ... . the book is interesting in the discussions of how aborigine people are being marginalized and the RoleM solution has some merit and can be transferred to other contexts … . if you teach marginalized students anywhere, there will be some points of valid instruction that you can extract and use.” (Charles Ashbacher, MAA Reviews, maa.org, June, 2016)
