Abstract

Prepare2Nspire is a near-peer mathematics tutoring program that serves marginalized middle and high school students through small learning communities. This informal learning space provides mathematics support that is in contrast to their formal classroom environments. This paper examines the combination of tutoring and mentoring (mentutoring) and the effect on students’ participation in mathematics thinking and learning. Findings from this critical ethnography suggest that students increased their participation in mathematics and altered their mathematical identities.
