Abstract
"Care in Mathematics Education: Alternative Educational Spaces and Practices" by Anne Watson explores the concept of care in mathematics teaching and learning. The book examines why teachers teach the way they do and what motivates them. It presents a range of alternative educational spaces and practices, including indigenous communities, home-schooling, and publicly-funded schools in England. The author emphasizes the importance of care for students' well-being and their relationship with mathematics, as well as care for mathematics itself. The book challenges traditional assumptions about mathematics teaching and offers insights into different perspectives and ideologies in mathematics education. [Extracted from the article]
