In the age of CCSSM, student growth objectives (SGOs), and extensive testing, two professors along with preservice teachers share strategies using social justice contexts such as racial profiling, poverty, and nutrition to teach math to elementary students, grades 2–8. Challenges from urban and suburban perspectives will be revealed through video, lesson plans, and discussion.
