- Read the following quote from Gutierrez's "The need to rehumanize mathematics."
"Take the notion of students'
misconceptions. Many teachers have been trained to
anticipate the misconceptions that students have so that
they can address them in their lessons. Yet, students don't
have misconceptions. They have conceptions. And
those conceptions make sense for them, until they encounter
something that no longer works. They are only
"misconceptions" when we begin with the expectation that
others need to come to our way of thinking or viewing the
world. For too long, that expectation has meant that
the teaching and learning of mathematics continues to
support an agenda of White supremacist capitalist patriarchy
and settler colonialism (Leyva 2017; Martin 2008; Stinson
2013; Tuck and Yang 2012; Warburton 2015, 2017). Not until
we seek to stand in the shoes of our students, to understand
their conceptions, will we be on the path toward recognizing
and embracing their humanity."
What was a conception you have had
about algebra that evolved once you encountered something (and
what was that thing)?
