In this Feature (9-12) article, authors share how historically marginalized ninth-grade students in Ontario used budgeting activities to explore not only pay stubs and deductions, but also questions of equity, government spending, and social justice.

#ITeachMath #MathEd can anyone help me find the article or other resources where students (or preservice teachers) can chart their mathematical autobiographies using a line graph as a way to think through their histories as math learners? I know I have seen this, and cannot find it!
