What does it mean to be “good-at-math,” and how is it determined? Cobb et al. (2009) defined the normative identity of mathematics classrooms as the obligations that students must meet to be considered good-at-math. Obligations are negotiated between teachers and students through series of bids. Normative identities reveal distributions of agency and authority within classrooms, which affect learning opportunities for students. Traditionally, mathematics teachers held the predominance of agency and authority in classrooms. Research supports shifting toward more equitable teaching and learning (e.g., National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2018). Clear examples of enacting and supporting changes are helpful. This article shares how sixth-grade students and their teacher co-constructed good-at-math to invite and obligate students to become active agents in mathematical argumentation.

Current reform in mathematics education, spurred by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), emphasizes the importance of making connections to the realworld experiences of children. Even in such activities as riding a bus, subway train, or bicycle to school, the cultural experiences of children from diverse backgrounds provide teachers and students with a plethora of mathematics problems. Culture is meaning that is shared by a group of people who hold common values and beliefs (Malloy and Malloy 1998). Members of the group may have racial, ethnic, political, or community ties, which can be used as springboards for culturally relevant teaching.

This study focusses on the views of students in learning grade 11 mathematics in terms of their needs and aspirations regarding access to high-level mathematics teaching and learning opportunities. Students who participated in this study (88 grade 11 Namibian students) were identified as having learning difficulties by their mathematics teachers, but these students did not (themselves)consider that they had difficulties. The author attempts to understand why students believed they do not have difficulties in learning mathematics. A qualitative method was employed, and the students were investigated via semi-structured interviews. The transcripts were analysed using an interpretational analysis. This study revealed that students display interest in learning mathematics and that they tend to feel comfortable with the subject despite certain influencing factors. The students’ perceptions are that their learning processes were negatively affected by aspects of systemic factors, teachers’ and students’ own factors, and access to learning resources. The students feel that they lack high-level access to teaching and learning, and this limits their potential for achieving the level at which they are expected to perform and be academically successful. In addition to the implications that emerged, this study makes recommendations on what should be done to address the negative factors perceived by the students.

This article highlights how school can work as a ‘pressure cooker valve’, contributing to a ‘controlled management’ of processes of exclusion. Schools, sometimes without realizing it, simultaneously promote some practices that lead to greater inclusion and support, and others that effectively result in the exclusion of minorities. This reasoning is illustrated, in the Portuguese context, with data collected in situations that demonstrate not only the different cultural, social and economic backgrounds of the students, but also the homogenizing rigidity and exclusionary effects of the curricula and teachers’ practices. In particular, this paper points to the negative and exclusionary impact of a limited range of teaching and learning opportunities. We affirm the growing social and cultural heterogeneity of students attending Portuguese schools, but argue that they are educated in a system, and by teachers, that usually promote a dominant culture, established as the only one that it is important to acquire. We propose that a true dialogue can only exist if teachers and students soften the barriers between their cultures in order to interact.
