Humanizing Mathematics through Boundary Crossing Collaboration

North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (45th, Reno, NV, Oct 1-4, 2023)
What mathematics is and how to teach it are questions that mathematics educators constantly confront. A challenge identified in mathematics education is supporting students to see mathematics as normal human activity. Mathematics educators' viewpoints of mathematics determine whether they can recognize and exploit learning opportunities for student. This study presents the boundary crossing collaboration between two female educators within informal learning settings. Drawing on a boundary crossing learning perspective, I explored two female educators' mathematics experiences and interrogated their boundary crossing experiences as sites for humanizing mathematics. Based on this exploration, I address the possibilities for humanizing mathematics by facilitating boundary crossing between mathematics education and informal education.
