  • Description of Presentation:

    I will describe children’s mathematical learning and sociopolitical beliefs/constructs (e.g., oppression, power, privilege) for children with cancer. I depict how robotics incited students to connect to political issues and contribute to how, why, and when mathematics is done while making significant conceptual growth across mathematical domains.
