Abstract: Mathematics capital is framed through the lens of Bourdieu's seminal work and Archer and colleagues' parallel development of science capital (Archer et al., 2015). We define mathematics capital as mathematical assets that a student leverages in their daily life which subsequently influences their position in the field of mathematics education. We describe mathematical assets as a student's collective experiences, dispositions, and intrinsic or extrinsic expectations related to mathematics. This qualitative study develops three themes to describe mathematics capital. Six mathematics teachers with dual degrees in mathematics and mathematics education were interviewed. We used the constant comparative method (Glaser, 1965) to analyze the data. We conclude by discussing how the three themes capture the essence of mathematics capital which influences how a person interacts with, reacts to, and responds to mathematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
