Multicultural Perspectives
in Mathematics Education
Purpose
This Web Site is maintained by the Department of Mathematics Education as
a tool for furthering our understanding of multicultural perspectives in
mathematics education. It is intended as both a forum and a resource for
mathematics educators, in our department and elsewhere, who are interested
in teaching mathematics reflecting contributions of many cultures and in
teaching students who bring cultural diverse backgrounds to mathematics
learning.
