In 2021 we began writing precalculus content to create mathematics grounded in place and identities. The result is a curriculum that lends balance to the contexts used to teach and learn mathematics, aiming to enhance our relationality to each other and the world we are part of.
overview of mathematics and approach
core mathematics
understand how two quantities change together | explore graphs, data, words, symbols describing models of change | develop mathematical language to describe change | translate mathematical language into everyday terms, meaningfully
approach
explore change models grounded in Tucson and the Southwest as place and identity | affirm who students are | discover strengths, beauty, legacies, identities, experiences tied to place, nature, and peoples | make sense of mathematics rather than memorize it
themes
water changes in Quitobaquito Springs| efficiency of the Navajo code talkers | sonoran saguaros | the sustainable advantages of adobe builidings | the boom of Latin music popularity | youth success, family connectedness, and communities | Hispanic heritage and identity, and more...
