This book is a follow-up to 'Values and Valuing in Mathematics Education: Scanning and Scoping the Territory' (2019, Springer). This book adds a critical emphasis on practice and fosters thinking concerning positive mathematical well-being, engagement, teacher noticing, and values alignment among a range of critical notions that intersect with values and valuing. Values and valuing play a key role in many aspects of education, such as assessment, planning, classroom interactions, choosing tasks, and general well-being. What one values and finds important in the learning and teaching of mathematics operates within the intersection of all social, cognitive, and affective aspects of school pedagogy, making values a significant holistic factor in education.
The chapters explore potential teaching strategies that enhance the understanding of the central place of values in mathematics itself as a subject, as well as how values impact how mathematics is used withinsociety. This book includes examples of strategies for facilitating students’ meaningful engagement with, and conscious learning of, values when engaging in mathematical thinking and doing.
“This book aligns with the editors’ aims to inspire the development of teaching strategies that enhance the exploration of values by students and teachers in various mathematical contexts. … As claimed in its title, this book focuses on practice and, thus, contributes timely and significantly to the existing body of literature on values in mathematics education. It is a worthwhile read for a broad audience, including practitioners, researchers, and curriculum designers alike.” (Haoyi Wang, Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 118 (1), 2025)
