Collaborative Community-Based Mathematics Education for Urban Students

This project explores a community-based mathematics education model, focusing on engaging middle school students in meaningful math experiences rooted in their urban environment. Using Philadelphia as a case study, the program incorporates coordinate graphing, street layout analysis, and culturally relevant pedagogy, including the teachings of educational theorists like Haberman and Ladson-Billings. The goal is to create lessons that are not only impactful but also designed thoughtfully with students’ needs in mind, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematics through real-world applications.
