Are you looking for ways to incorporate students’ funds of knowledge into your teaching through culturally relevant pedagogy? Would you like to incorporate more mathematical discourse and student thinking in your elementary or middle school math lessons? Place-based Image Talks do both! In a Place-based Image Talk, teachers use a local image to pose mathematical questions, increasing entry points into the conversation and helping all students see themselves within mathematics. Place-based Image Talks can also be used to empower students by providing opportunities to use mathematics to understand and agentically connect with local community issues.
