Resumen

Durante los últimos treinta años, el Proyecto Álgebra ha trabajado con una diversidad de partes interesadas (padres, socios universitarios, administradores, maestros y sus estudiantes) para elevar el nivel de alfabetización matemática para los estudiantes más desatendidos en los sistemas escolares de EE. UU. En el curso de este trabajo, hemos llegado a reconocer un techo de cristal con el que deben lidiar los estudiantes más desatendidos y sus maestros. Ha bloqueado el acceso a temas que históricamente se han considerado avanzados, pero que en realidad son accesibles para los estudiantes en los niveles de Álgebra I y Geometría. Ha alimentado debates comunitarios sobre cuántas matemáticas son demasiadas para algunos estudiantes e insuficientes para otros. En este artículo, examinaremos algunos ejemplos de Álgebra I y Geometría, que muestran claramente esta accesibilidad. Estos ejemplos demuestran que es necesario reconstruir un piso apropiado para la alfabetización matemática en el siglo XXI para tener en cuenta la brecha entre lo que se podría enseñar y lo que se enseña en matemáticas secundarias.

William Crombie, The Algebra Project

William (Bill) Crombie is the Director of Professional Development for The Algebra Project, Inc. Since 1990, Bill has been involved in developing and delivering professional development for teachers and professional developers within the Algebra Project’s national network. In collaboration with Bob Moses, the founder of the Algebra Project, Bill has worked on developing the Transition Curriculum, short curriculum modules, and the African Drum and Ratios Curriculum. He is also the principal author of the Train-the-Trainer’s Transition Curriculum Practice Units and Lecture Notes and the principal developer of the Accessible Calculus Curriculum. Bill has worked as a site development consultant to a number of school systems and communities across the nation in their efforts to establish local algebra projects: Boston, Cambridge, Chicago, North Chicago, Louisville, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Marlboro County, SC, Plainfield, NJ, and New York City. From 1994 to 1998 he was the director of the Chicago Algebra Project. Overall, his work has focused on increasing access to quality mathematics education for students from underserved communities.
