Focus: Several contemporary approaches to mathematics education engage students as holistic learners. Students’ cultures, home languages, and communities are viewed as resources for learning mathematics. However, more research is needed on effective and transferable teaching models for connected mathematics. In part, this derives from the range of connected approaches. Learning communities and community engagement classes embed mathematics in complex, multidisciplinary contexts. In stand-alone mathematics classes, teachers may offer lessons grounded in real-world scenarios that involve students’ own heritages, issues in their communities, or global situations. Open-ended mathematical tasks like modeling allow students to use their personal knowledge of the world in solving mathematical problems. These teaching approaches raise several dilemmas. What are effective models for teaching interdisciplinary mathematics? How do teachers engage students’ identities in a classroom that includes diverse identities? How can teachers deliver connected math while keeping the cognitive demand of the task high? Articles presenting teaching models that recognize students as holistic learners are welcome. In addition, there is a particular need for studies that report measurable learning outcomes of connected teaching to assist researchers as they compete for research funding. Papers are also invited that focus on such issues as disability, interdisciplinarity, diversity, multilingualism, persistence, self-confidence, attitudes, anxiety, and assessment. Who May Submit: Submissions are welcome from researchers, teacher action researchers, administrators and graduate students as well as others engaged directly in teaching at the K-16 levels. Please identify your submission with keyword: MATH-2 Submission deadline: Any time until the end of August 2009; see details for other deadline options like early, regular, and short.
