ErinCGithens Jun 14 @ 9:07 PM EDT

I think that with the amount time students will spend doing word problems we should take their impact seriously. #tcmchat

Elementarist Jun 14 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Itś easy for word problems to carry bias and stereotypes, especially if we are not aware/careful #TCMChat

dhghosheh Jun 14 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Typically they lack diverse cultural perspectives and deal with abstract concepts that are irrelevant to most peoples lives #tcmchat

DennisRegus Jun 14 @ 9:08 PM EDT

I think I did that wrong...first timer. Word problems have the potential to align with and promote positive cultural values #TCMchat

In reply to @TCM_at_NCTM

Zakchamp Jun 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 In all honesty, I didn't see them as a vehicle for change prior to reading Cathery's post. #TCMChat

Elementarist Jun 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: at same time, often word problems arent relevant/culturally sensitive to students we teach ie rural kids. different ethnicities #TCMChat

megyzr Jun 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: ASD is Int'l school in MidEast w 72 nations of Ss, it's essential we're not only culturally sensitive, but inclusive. #TCMChat

Mitchel93017048 Jun 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Just as a general idea, math word problems could potentially carry the problem of reinforcing stereotypical gender norms. #tcmchat

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Jun 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2 What hidden messages are found in the mathematical word problems in most textbooks? #TCMchat

hlsabnani Jun 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A2: so yes, context is considered or probs written so they can be carriers of culture. These are third-culture kiddos 🌍 #TCMChat

RooneySundevil Jun 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Hidden messages in curriculum are real, conveying norms and beliefs. We must take this into account while teaching. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Jun 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 After all, with just 1 problem in isolation, it's hard to make a judgement. But its the patterns (both good & bad) that matter #TCMChat

dhghosheh Jun 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2: We see a lot of reinforcement of gender "norms" #tcmchat

Zakchamp Jun 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2 Gender norms for sure. #TCMChat

Elementarist Jun 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT

My experience is not that they could"but that they often DO reinforce gender stereotypes #TCMChat

All those math problems about speeding in cars to meet up with someone who left the house earlier- encouraging reckless driving? #TCMchat

Same thought. Our kids see them too. My daughter (12 yr) had a visceral reaction to this. She totally noticed the gender ideas #TCMChat

In reply to @dhghosheh

korigibson93 Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Math word problems that I remember from school were not relatable for many students. #tcmchat

ohyranac Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Hidden messages in math problems create unrealistic situations that most won't be able to achieve; it's driven by class status #tcmchat

JaneWilburne Jun 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Cultural issues involve such terms: Football( soccer in some countries), inches (vs metric), dollars (vs other currency), etc.#TCMchat

MonkeyLuuuu Jun 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 most textbooks follow the social stereotypes. Like boys play basket ball; girls dance. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Jun 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT

The traditional family idea was big for me. Loved that Cathery wrote about this. #TCMChat

CindyCliche1 Jun 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Gender norms seem to be most prevalent but also think about the role of families. Not all students are from a traditional family.

A1 I never thought about cultural values being in word problems. Example please? #TCMchat

In reply to @TCM_at_NCTM

"Pairing" questions typically involve heteronormative couples. All perspectives need be considered to create an inclusive classroom #tcmchat

A3 I teach in rural school, lots of farm kids, so partly reframe to fit their world, sometimes reframe to expose to outside world #TCMchat

A3: Personally I have never refaced a problem but if I was to do one it would be on a class to class basis. #tcmchat

Elementarist Jun 14 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3 I would not consider my school to be diverse compared to many schools (so balance relevance w/ exposing to new ideas) #TCMchat

pearse_margie Jun 14 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 gender bias The girl pics placed randomly in math texts always look cutsie and the boys usually look like they're concentrating #TCMChat

mathcoachrivera Jun 14 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 : If Ts and Ss are solving and writing problems that celebrate diversity & math used in their culture, they can be powerful #TCMChat

ohyranac Jun 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q3: Small changes can be made such as gender, actions, or chores. It does not need to be in relation to class or societal beliefs. #tcmchat

ErinCGithens Jun 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I am currently not teaching, but it could be simple as changing prepositions or people in the family. #tcmchat

YehCathery Jun 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 My teachers and I make small changes to word problems. Instead of Anne cutting ribbons, Aaron is cutting ribbons. #TCMChat

walker8589_lynn Jun 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

There are ways to use real world topics, but I struggle with how to do it realistically with the larger numbers. #TCMchat

A3: as Ts plan for learning - (re)write probs: social ref here in MidEast, prompt solutions in metric, aware of sensitive context #TCMchat

mathcoachrivera Jun 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Ts could use this rubric by @ShellyMJones1 to rate the cultural relevance of the math task #TCMChat

Zakchamp Jun 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 - I'm not promoting ignoring this issue, but what about removing names all together and just saying, "you were cutting ribbons" #TCMChat

In reply to @YehCathery

walker8589_lynn Jun 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Allowing students to help in the creation can allow them to be who they want to be and write about what is important to them. #TCMchat

I make farmers females, boys and girls baking, boys and girls playing sports, vary the names used,..#TCMchat

YehCathery Jun 14 @ 9:30 PM EDT

pearse_margie Jun 14 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A2 Our urban 8th graders needed to know the shape of a shawl in PSSA in order to know to apply Pythagorean Theorem. Culture bias #TCMChat

#A3 #tcmchat I think that animals could be used to create some word problems, however, it makes problems less relatable.
