International goals of mathematics education include preparation for civic life. Curricula focused on receptive analytic activities, however, positions youth as underdeveloped civic actors needing preparation for responsible future participation rather than treating them as civic actors today. To better understand how youth use mathematics in their civic participation today, we conceptualize <em>quantitative civic literacies</em> as the practices of reinscribing quantitative information into civic participation. We investigate quantitative civic literacies in youth digital civic media about racial justice, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis, drawing data from a US-based, public radio-hosted, digital media platform called <em>Let’s Talk about Election 2020</em>. Findings identified six quantitative civic literacies engaged by youth; youth used quantitative forms including counts and locations, relationship and change, and uncertainty in making civic arguments to (1) communicate the magnitude of an issue, (2) situate an issue in space or time, (3) reason about causation or propose a theory of change, (4) provide specificity through narrative detail, (5) make claims about identity, and (6) reveal injustice. Beyond providing logical argumentation and legitimacy, numbers were used by youth to activate empathy and mobilize ethical calls in attempts to move others to action. With these insights, we provide inroads for a mathematics education for civic life that builds on a more expansive understanding of the rhetorical potential of numbers and of youth as civic actors to nurture youth quantitative civic literacies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101256"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, limited research exists that investigates how implementing imaginary play could create conditions in supporting children’s learning of informal length measurement as they transition to school. To support children’s learning of informal length measurement, this study adapted Li and Disney’s (2021) Conceptual PlayWorld [CPW] in mathematics to conduct an educational experiment investigating how <em>the implementation of CPW</em> creates the conditions to support children’s learning during the transition to school. We argue that in the CPW, the use of imagination and the teacher’s dramatisation of the mathematics conceptual problems allowed opportunities for children to demonstrate and explore informal length measurement using their everyday understanding of concepts. In turn, it supports the teacher in embedding mathematical learning opportunities in the imaginary play context. CPW can be considered an alternative pedagogical approach that incorporates mathematical exploration through imaginary play, creates opportunities to support children to engage with and understand measurement concepts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101257"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143816773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although Gdańsk is currently located in Poland, during the period under consideration it was part of Prussian Poland, which refers to the Polish lands under Prussian rule, and it was formerly known as Danzig. The <em>Victoriaschule</em> was established in 1818 and, three years later, became the first public secondary school for girls in Gdańsk. In the latter half of the 19th century, a teachers’ seminary was also opened there. By the early 20th century, due to the efforts of the then-director, a real gymnasium for girls began operation, allowing students to take matriculation exams and pursue university studies. It became one of the best educational institutions for girls in Prussian Poland. This paper will compare mathematics teaching at the <em>Victoriaschule</em> with that in similar schools for boys and other selected girls’ schools operating at the same time in Prussian Poland, including institutions in Bydgoszcz, Grudziądz, Toruń, Malbork, and Kwidzyn. The analysis will focus on curricula, ministerial orders, school textbooks, and the initiatives of individual school reformers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Behavior","volume":"79 ","pages":"Article 101243"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143562293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
