Struggling with Mathematics: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful!
The ways in which we have traditionally used the word “struggle” in mathematics need to change. All students need GOOD opportunities to struggle with concepts in mathematics in order to make sense of the world around them. No student should be told that they are BAD at math by being labeled as low or struggling. Each individual student deserves guidance to find ways to use their strengths as mathematical assets. We, as teachers of mathematics, can facilitate a classroom in which all students contribute their strengths and learn from others’ strengths to create a class unified in the goal of learning and growing. It is then that both teacher and student alike will see the BEAUTIFUL designs in the seemingly random collections of people, numbers, opportunities, and challenges. These claims will be presented in the context of Dr. DeLeeuw’s personal experiences as a Utah high school teacher and university professor and supported by his and others’ research about mathematics education.
