Mostly an administrator these days, Fisher still teaches honors algebra at Breakwater, a pre-K-8th independent school in Portland, Maine. Its flexible, willingly-chosen and yes, fun. That could mean preparing the classroom with labels and blocks and other spacial and mathematical items. But whats meant by play?

Historically, underserved communities of Black and Latino students experiencing poverty underperform in mathematics as measured by various academic indicators. There is no doubt that nearly two years of remote learning resulted in the loss of learning in all disciplines, particularly in mathematics.

In its current form, school algebra serves as a gatekeeper to higher-level mathematics. Researchers and policy makers have pushed to open that gate—providing more students access to algebra, focusing in particular on those students historically denied access to higher-level mathematics.

And in the end, as we’ll discuss later, that’s a more flexible and powerful way to communicate. There’s a big example of this historically, in mathematics. But then mathematical notation was invented, and math took off—with the development of algebra, calculus, and eventually all the various mathematical sciences.
