Large-scale quantitative studies of children’s mathematics reveal the phenomenon of correlated achievement and ‘interest’ and its gendered bias which been observed in many countries over many decades. Children Talk About Their Mathematics Lives explores this phenomenon, through personal stories, with a view to helping educators and curriculum designers firstly understand the key issues as social in origin, and secondly, contemplate realistic and practical measures which may be taken to offset some of the key contingencies which ‘produce’ these effects. Based on a longitudinal study tracking the children’s school careers as they learn mathematics, the book takes a social view of teaching and learning mathematics. The children’s stories span eleven years of their compulsory schooling, from the beginning of their 3rd year in primary school as 7 year-olds, to their 12th year at secondary school as 17 year-olds. Encourages dialogue on gender divide in mathematics Enables children to exercise their right to speak on their own behalf Based in research and written in an engaging and compelling style
