Creating opportunities to learn mathematics through the cultural framing of communication and participation patterns
Résumé
Access to opportunities to learn mathematics requires teaching that is responsive to the cultures of
our students. New Zealand is home to the largest Pāsifika population in the Western world. Pāsifika
is a homogeneous label for muti-ethnic groups of indigenous people from Pacific Island nations who
have differing cultural values and experiences than the dominant European population. This paper
highlights how opportunities to learn were created through the cultural framing of communication
and participation patterns. Data were drawn from one class of 8–9-year-old students. Results
indicate that when deliberate and specific consideration of the cultural values of diverse students are
attended to, all students can be provided with equitable access and opportunities to learn
