Urban Mathematics Education

Urban Mathematics Education focuses on improving math learning in city-based schools that often serve diverse and historically underserved communities. It recognizes the unique social, cultural, and economic challenges students face and seeks to make math relevant and accessible by incorporating real-world contexts and culturally responsive teaching methods. This approach aims to close achievement gaps, foster critical thinking, and empower students to apply math skills in their everyday lives and future careers, ultimately promoting equity and excellence in urban education settings.
