Word problems, or story problems, have been a part of mathematical education for the past 4,000 years. This book considers mathematical word problems as a genre, drawing on analytic theory from linguistics, literary criticism, and mathematics education. Raising the question, what are word problems?, this book addresses it by taking a walk around the genre to see it from many points of view, including the linguistic, the historical, and the pedagogical. A Man Left Albuquerque Heading East sheds light on the nature of genre in education and inspires teachers to use word problems in new ways, with different intentions.
Author Biography
The Author: Susan Gerofsky earned her Ph.D. in mathematics education from Simon Fraser University, Canada, and her M.A. in applied linguistics from the University of Durham, England. Dr. Gerofsky teaches at an alternative school in Vancouver and at Simon Fraser University.
