ResumoEsse trabalho é de caráter bibliográfico e traz a revisão de literatura realizada para a construção da tese de doutorado, da primeira autora e orientada pela segunda,  cujo tema é: Os jogos e a linguagem algébrica para a formação de professores de Matemática da EJA do Ensino Fundamental II. A revisão de literatura foi embasada no site de Catálogo de teses e dissertações da CAPES e no site da Biblioteca da PUC-SP de 2015 à 2018. Foram selecionadas cinco dissertações de mestrado e duas teses de doutorado nas universidades brasileiras nos campos da Educação, Matemática e da Educação Matemática, pois tinham maior ligação com o nosso objeto de investigação que foram divididas em três categorias: formação de professores da EJA, os jogos no ensino da Matemática e gamificação e a Matemática. Os trabalhos foram lidos em seus resumos e a partir dos dados foi possível concluir que há falta de formação para professores de Matemática da modalidade EJA e que os jogos são recursos que possibilitam a interação, a motivação e promovem aprendizagem Matemática. Palavras-chave: Jogos; Álgebra; EJA; Professores; Matemática.AbstractThis work is bibliographical and brings the literature review performed for the construction of the doctoral thesis, from the first author and guided by the second one, its theme is: Games and algebraic language for the formation of mathematics teachers of the Education for Youth and Adults students (EJA, in Brazil) of Elementary School II (from 6th to 9th grade, in Brazil). The literature review was based on the CAPES (Coordination for Improvement of Graduated Students, in Brazil) Thesis and Dissertations Catalogue website and on the PUC-SP (Pontifical Catholic University, in São Paulo) Library website from 2015 to 2018. Five master's dissertations and two doctoral thesis were selected in Brazilian universities in the fields of Education, Mathematics and Mathematics Education, as they have a greater connection with our research object they were divided into three categories: teacher training of the EJA, the games in the teaching of Mathematics and Gamification and Mathematics. The papers were read in their abstracts and from the data it was possible to conclude that there is a lack of training for mathematics teachers of the EJA modality and games are resources that enable interaction, motivation and promote mathematical learning.Keywords: Games; Algebra; EJA; Teachers; Mathematics. 

Underachievement and Underrepresentation of Hispanics in Mathematics and Mathematics-Related Careers

Research Recommendations

A literature review shows a threefold problem consisting of disproportionally low participation in mathematics education, underachievement in mathematics, and under-representation in mathematics-related careers by Hispanics. Contrary to the belief that the poor showing by Hispanics in mathematics may be due to a lack of ability or motivation, previous research attributes it to policies, practices, and attitudes of school personnel that are incongruent with the values, learning styles, and curriculum needs of Hispanics. Research recommendations focus on: (a) the Hispanic child's cognitive and affective styles, (b) methods of reaching mathematics ro Hispanics, and (c) scope, sequence, and format of curriculum. The implementation of experimental projects is also recommended.

In China, the importance of quality mathematics education has never been called into a question, whereas numeracy as a general capability that is more than the mastery of mathematical knowledge and skills is seldom discussed in the literature about Chinese schools and education systems or considered in teaching practices, presenting an overall picture that numeracy development seems to be missing from Chinese education or considered as a tacit outcome automatically produced by the acquisition of mathematical knowledge. This issue may stem from the linguistic differences between English language and non-English language that render the interpretation of numeracy distorted and further evolve into a whole situation in China as a result of the longstanding debate on the essence of numeracy and the heavy emphasis laid on mathematics education rather than numeracy development as a whole. In this paper, the nature of numeracy is discussed by referring to a number of classic literature works, with special attention to clarifying the relationships between numeracy and mathematics that can be confused at a conceptual level.

AbstractMathematics is fundamental for many professions, especially science, technology, and engineering. Yet, mathematics is often perceived as difficult and many students leave disciplines in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as a result, closing doors to scientific, engineering, and technological careers. In this editorial, we argue that how mathematics is traditionally viewed as “given” or “fixed” for students’ expected acquisition alienates many students and needs to be problematized. We propose an alternative approach to changes in mathematics education and show how the alternative also applies to STEM education.
