Ethnomathematics recognizes that:
There are many cultural ways to understand and do mathematics
Mathematics education in Euro-western societies is the right way to learn
Math should only be taught through abstract symbols
Math is purely objective and culture-free
2
What is Mathematical Anxiety?
A type of memory disorder
An observed, culturally influenced phenomenon related to anxiety about math
A clinical diagnosis listed in the DSM-5
A symptom of a learning disability
3
One consequence of the Euro-western focus in math curriculum is:
More integrated learning approaches
Equal success for all students
Alienation of students who do not fit the traditional student profile
Increased cultural diversity in classrooms
4
Which of the following statements is TRUE about learning disabilities?
They can impair multiple subject areas but may appear prominent in some
They are always severe and easy to identify.
They affect only one subject area, usually math.
They only affect students with low intelligence.
5
Why might bilingual students demonstrate higher mathematical achievement?
They are given easier tests
Brain areas used in language learning overlap with areas used for math
They receive more math instruction
They avoid word problems
6

Diagnostic System Manual (DSM)
Ministry of Child Development
8
What is a common early sign of dyscalculia observed in pre-K children?
Delayed speech
Difficulty following classroom routines
Trouble with fine motor skills
Number sense impairments like difficulty with counting and subitizing
9
Why are manipulatives especially helpful for younger learners?
Young children learn best through touch and interaction with real objects

14
The Matilda Effect describes:
Men taking credit for women’s scientific or mathematical work
Women’s natural superiority in math
A type of mathematical bias in testing
Women receiving more credit than men in science
15
What is the primary purpose of using manipulatives in math instruction?
Replace traditional instruction, which does not work
To speed up memorization
Prevent boredem
To provide hands-on learning experiences for abstract math concepts
16

Visual perception disorders differ from eyesight problems because:
They are easily corrected with eye surgery
They involve difficulty interpreting visual information
They only occur in students with 20/20 vision
They are caused by not wearing glasses
21
What are manipulatives in the context of mathematics education?
Physical or visual objects that help students understand math concepts
Computer programs for testing math skills
