| Abstract: | Traditional mathematics teaching approaches result in inequitable outcomes for students outside the dominant community. One reason for this is a school system that prioritises overly narrow ways of knowing, being and doing. One example of this is a teaching approach that prioritises very specific learning goals and highly structured lessons that focus on performance and product to be judged as a success or failure by a teacher. This paper explores an alternative teaching approach that opens possibilities for intellectual movement and exploration, recognising additional ways of being, knowing and doing to be valued equally to more traditional ways of knowing, being and doing. |
