Miwa A. Takeuchi and Shima Dadkhahfard A body of scholarship on embodied mathematics learning has demonstrated the process of mathematics learning that is inseparable from learner bodies. Thus far, the scholarship on embodied mathematics learning has made limited connections with the critical conceptualization of embodiment that allows us to see the history and power behind […]

Miwa Aoki Takeuchi Abstract This study examined immigrant parents’ involvement in early years mathematicslearning, focusing on learning of multiplication in in- and out-of-school settings. Ethnographic interviews and workshops were conducted in an urban city in Japan, to examine out-of-school practices of immigrant families.

This poster demonstrates the value of visual representation as a vehicle for counter storytelling which offers space to challenge dominant, deficit narratives and centralizes the historically marginalized voices (Solórzano & Yosso, 2002). We discuss the use […]

Shima Dadkhahfard & Miwa Aoki Takeuchi Abstract May’s Hidden Algorithm was illustrated based on the process discussed in this paper. We used May’s Hidden Algorithm illustrations to evoke the power of artistic renderings for public communication of research. We have investigated underlying racial ideologies of the artist/researcher in the illustrations. We transformed our ethnographic findings […]

Miwa Aoki Takeuchi, Raneem Elhowari, & Jenny Yuen Abstract This paper describes a portion of findings depicted in the Peace Farm. We presented our preliminary findings from our ongoing ethnographic study on out-of-school mathematics learning for refugee families. Our paper provides a glimpse of embodied and emplaced mathematical literacy exercised by a Syrian refugee family […]
