How can educational research fulfill its commitment to educational practice? This time-honored question is the one that gave rise to this book. The more specific query of how to bridge research and practice in conditions of poverty and inequality became its main focus. Within the context of mathematics education, this single, all- encompassing problem can be decomposed into three separate issues, each of which is serious enough to keep researchers awake at night. First, how can one explain the lingering, pervasive failure in mathematics experienced by so many students around the world, but especially by those who live in conditions of scarcity and social injustice?
