Resumo

A qualitative case study research design was used to examine American female elementary students' perceptions about mathematics before and after participating in a math practices workshop designed specifically for females. The workshop sought to address perceived barriers to learning math by applying math concepts to real-life situations while engaging in fun, exciting projects during a summer program sponsored by a city recreation department. Drawing on data from interviews, observations and artifacts, initial findings revealed that the majority of the participants had negative perceptions about math and their abilities in math. Findings suggested that when math is presented through hands-on, collaborative activities, the participants felt that math was more relevant to their lives and held more positive perceptions about math. The implication of the findings suggests that perceptions about math can change to be more positive. Challenges that these participants face in learning math and recommendations for supporting their learning are discussed.
