“…As Rita said: “We have built strong working relationships between school and home which I wish to continue fostering and developing as I have seen huge growth in some students.” Clearly, they had recognized how extending the home into the school community had been empowering for them all. Crossing boundaries between homes and schools had provided possibilities for developing true power-sharing relationships as promoted by researchers (e.g., Bonner, 2014 ; Civil & Bernier, 2009 ; Hodge & Cobb, 2016 ; Powell et al, 2016 ) who argue for more equitable mathematics education. Many researchers (e.g., Adiredja, 2019 ; Bannister, et al, 2018 ; Jilk, 2016 ; Rogoff et al, 2017 ) argue that a strength-based approach has potential to address inequities in mathematics education; what this study has shown is that this does not need to happen only in schools, but can also occur in more unique settings like the lockdown presented.…”
