  • The author discusses using mathematics as an equalizer for gifted Latino/a adolescent learners. In 1994, the Board of Directors of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics created a task force to explore the topic of "mathematically promising" students. This period marked a new era in the discussion of what mathematical ability had traditionally meant. The task force had as its primary goal to guide discussions among mathematicians and mathematics educators about the mathematically talented student. The task force reported that an indicator of being a mathematically promising student is based on his or her potential to become a good problem solver. The team described being "mathematically promised" as individual attributes connected to four nonfixed variables: (1) ability, (2) motivation, (3) beliefs, and (4) experiences and opportunities. By examining the mathematical "potential" of students, this new definition for identifying talented students may have alluded, for the first time, to students who had not been traditionally identified as gifted, talented, intelligent, or precocious, but rather to those who have been excluded from previous definitions of gifted and talented and therefore excluded from rich mathematical opportunities. This chapter addresses: identification of mathematically promising students; the realities of today's schooling; differentiating mathematics teaching and learning in the United States; differentiated instruction within inclusive classrooms; giftedness and culture; a perspective from Latin America—classroom dynamics in mathematics; language and mathematics; multiple literacies in a mathematics classroom; writing mathematics, reading mathematics, and talking mathematics; making mathematics classrooms culturally and socially responsive; integrating the history of mathematics; effective strategies for English language learners; and teaching mathematics to talented Latino/a students.
