We may not discuss or imagine our children's mathematics learning and doing devoid of thoughts about geospatial factors. Tate (2008) observed that geospatial factors contribute a large percentage of what students carry to the mathematics classroom or their lived knowledge of the mathematics objects of learning. Geospatial factors in this context represent the space and place where students and teachers of mathematics reside. Space represents the environmental factors, socioeconomic factors, political factors, culture, language, or ethnicity, while place represents the geographical location (urban or suburban).
Join me in my upcoming posts as I unpack research findings on social justice in mathematics education.
