In this article, we begin by taking stock of broad trends related to gender and mathematics, focusing primarily on patterns within the United States. We then add some important nuance, discussing some ways in which patterns vary by social class and race. Given that much recent work on gender and mathematics has been situated outside of traditional mathematics education frames, we consider how ongoing work in psychology and gender studies can contribute to our understanding, using interview data from a study of woman’s experiences in a mathematics Ph.D. program. Ultimately, we argue that mathematics education researchers bring unique expertise to the table and have a particular role to play in building upon work in other fields to further the work on gender and mathematics.

As institutions strive to improve teaching and learning for all, educators must consider equitable instruction. In particular, equitable distributions of authority and agency among students. The authors define distribution of authority as shared opportunities for decision-making in enacting mathematical tasks, and agency as the power to carry out these self-made decisions. Equitable distributions of authority and agency can be enhanced in mathematics public sensemaking classrooms where students participate in discourse as active members of the classroom. In public sensemaking classrooms, students understand and acknowledge one another's ideas, present and revise arguments, and take risks by sharing ideas. This study investigates one group of students and how they positioned one another during mathematical groupwork in a public sensemaking classroom, as well as how the positioning impacted the distribution of agency and authority. Analyses indicate that one student replicates the role of teacher by redistributing authority and agency back to other students. The findings intend to inform classroom teachers of the positioning patterns that may occur during groupwork, and the effectiveness of public sensemaking classrooms on distributing authority and agency equitably during groupwork.

Having read Tate’s article soon after beginning my PhD studies (circa 2000), it was one of my earliest awakenings in the field. It had crystalized a prior visit to a Wisconsin classroom on culturally relevant pedagogy taught by Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings and the admonition she spoke to me after class: “Lou, we don’t need another study on functions” (referencing the cognitively guided instruction dominant mathematics culture at my university). I understood this we. Our people. My people. It was the felt presence of my community and communities of the African and Caribbean diaspora upon whose hopes and dreams this work is pursued. Yet, Tate’s call was the harbinger of a more intrusive element in the mathematics of our people—the mathematics education reform enterprise itself.
