Description:

This "alternative textbook" integrates pedagogy and content exploration in ways that are unique in mathematics education, provoking new ideas for making mathematics education meaningful to teachers at all levels as well as their students.

Review Quotes:

"This book is likely to have a substantial impact on the landscape of pedagogical thinking. The pedagogy is a model for how to be engaged in life, in this sense presenting a personal vision that informs more than how to teach."

David Kirshner, Louisiana State University

"Embracing Mathematics offers mathematics teachers other possibilities for teaching, in practical and very tangible ways. Simultaneously, [it] challenges the current field and provides possibilities for how these 'different' ways of considering teaching can work effectively in our current situations."

Sarah Smitherman Pratt, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
