“La Lotería” - Using a Culturally Relevant Mathematics Activity with Pre-service Teachers at a Family Math Learning Event
Abstract
This paper aims to raise awareness of how university content faculty prepare pre-service teachers to implement culturally relevant math activities involving Hispanic families in an after-school Family Math Learning Event (FMLE). By exploring the game of chance “La Lotería” from Hispanic culture with math objectives appropriate for elementary and middle school grades, this paper illustrates the potential impact on future teachers and Hispanic families participating in the FMLE.
