Abstract: A clear goal of mathematics instruction is to help students make sense of their worlds. Importantly though, connecting mathematics to a context that is real and relevant to all students can be difficult, as students bring different experiences from their lives outside of the classroom. We sought to answer the following questions: (a) Given that mathematics classrooms are comprised of students with diverse experiences and realities, what constitutes real world to all students?.
