“Rethinking Mathematics” is a 180-page guide to teaching socially relevant math lessons, and and how to weave social-justice math into other curricular areas as well.

“What fun it was to read this book!” says trailblazing school founder Deborah Meier. “I found myself reading the daily newspaper and coming up with connections I hadn’t imagined before; it’s contagious. Here’s a bookful of ways to turn numbers into eye-opening experiences, to rediscover the world we live in.”
