The primary focus is on classroom activities where students can ask their own questions, find and analyze real data, apply mathematical ideas themselves, and draw their own conclusions. Module topics focus on technical content that could support courses in quantitative reasoning or introductory statistics, with social themes including electoral issues, environmental justice, equity\/inequity, human rights, and racial justice. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 286 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01 April 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: American Mathematical Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMathematics for Social Justice: Focusing on Quantitative Reasoning and Statistics is a comprehensive resource for mathematics faculty seeking to integrate social justice themes into their classrooms. Comprising seventeen classroom-tested modules, the book offers ready-to-use activities and investigations designed for college mathematics and statistics courses. Through these modules, students are empowered to explore issues of social justice, understand the power and limitations of mathematics in real-world contexts, and draw their own conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe primary focus of the book is on classroom activities that encourage students to ask their own questions, find and analyze real data, apply mathematical ideas independently, and reach their own conclusions. The modules cover technical content relevant to courses in quantitative reasoning and introductory statistics, with a strong emphasis on social themes such as electoral issues, environmental justice, equity\/inequity, human rights, and racial justice. These topics include gentrification, partisan gerrymandering, policing, and other pressing social concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe volume editors, who are prominent leaders in the national movement to include social justice material in mathematics teaching, have jointly edited the earlier AMS-MAA volume, Mathematics for Social Justice: Resources for the College Classroom. This book provides a valuable resource for educators who are committed to promoting social justice and equity in their teaching practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 530g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 x 256 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781470449278\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096632717562,"sku":"9781470449278","price":50.46,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1666958318873_book.jpg?v=1667289091","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mathematics-for-social-justice-focusing-on-quantitative-reasoning-and-statistics-9781470449278","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
